My first ever all vegetarian dinner party.

My friend Jan who is also my bodyworker (massage of sorts), is a vegetarian. She and her husband live a rather alternative life. They follow a guru who has a base on an island in Fiji. When I first started going to Jan they lived in a communal property in Kew. They are lovely people, not weird, just not so involved in mainstream life. Ron is a chemist and an expert in Aromatherapy.  Anyway they are part of the Ballina camping crowd so I thought it would be nice to have them come to dinner and decided we would all have vegetarian.  I had guacamole for nibbles, coconut and lettuce soup followed by Morrocan picking , sweet potato and chickpea Tagline with couscous, finishing with poached white nectarines and strawberries. Pretty tasty if I do say so myself.  Ron and Bill certainly went for seconds. It was all quite delicious and I didn't miss the meat at all. I forgot to take photos.
I was remarkably well organised too with everything completed well in advance on the day so that I could pop out to meet Lawrence (Pete's cousin who was over from Adelaide)  for coffee.
Sunday I spent writing my lecture!
