Truffle lunch

In the spirit of Spring we had the most exotic truffle lunch at Chado tea house, down the road from us, a wonderful establishment owned and run by our friend Varuni. Co-owner, her husband Brian Ritchie (of Violent Femmes  fame)  enhanced the day with serene live music, playing his amazing selection of bespoke instruments.
What lovely food. Eight courses with five French wines. So elegant and full of flavour with generous portions of Tasmanian truffle.

We had a wonderful time.

Spring has sprung

Well perhaps it has. The forecast is not looking all that good, but the magnolia down the road thinks it's here.
