Today is hubby's birthday, and we started celebrations last Saturday with friends on the beach...frolicking in the sun and waves, enjoying French champagne and nibbling on fresh fruit...it was a perfect way to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon, which was followed by a beautiful dinner where we shared several entrees and 'nibbly bits':
Birthday card made by our friends' gorgeous 3 year old daughter
Smoked mackerel pate, horseradish snow, beetroot relish, crisp rye bread
House made falafels (made with broad beans - so it was green inside), minted tahini sauce
Coffin Bay 'Valentine' oyster, freshly shucked, mignonette sauce
Kangaroo Island Haloumi, watermelon, mint and shallot dressing
Miso crusted wagyu, coriander pistou, wasabi mayo, pickled mushrooms, soy beans
Ruby summer salad - beetroot, watermelon, rasberry, red cabbage, goats curd, maple dressing
Seared scallops, vichyssoise sponge, smoked ham powder, fried leek, watercress
Kingfish sashimi, shaved mojama, gazpacho vinaigrette, almond oil
My main course: Pork fillet, confit pork belly, apricot stuffing, braised red cabbage, spiced pork crackling
The restaurant had a beautiful view, and the sunset was breathtaking...
I wore the Thakoon SS'08 tie dye coatdress I have been wearing a lot lately (thrice in the last week!)

sorry...I was blinking...
Thakoon tie dye coat/dress (love the pleating and tie-dye print...)
Dries Van Noten sandals
Now I am off for more French champagne and birthday dinner...
