For our 1st wedding anniversary today Michael planned a nice romantic picnic, we picked a spot just off the Great Ocean Road in Lorne, overlooking the waves crashing onto the shore. To celebrate Michael finally put the bottle of 1995 Dom Perignon on ice, it was gorgeous, there is definitely something special about good French champagne, I mean just the thought of it is romantic so luckily it tastes bloody good too!
To go with the champas we had a fine selection of produce that we picked out from the local deli/fruit & veg shop, Yarra Valley fig & Almond paste, Maffra longhorn vintage cheddar, some lovely Cobram estate Olive oil & Malouf’s Classic Egyptian dukkah, dips, kalamata olives, olive bread & a crusty French stick from the bakery, roast chicken, crackers, tomatoes, rocket, grapes, strawberries, chocolate coated apricots, really it was a feast fit for a Queen & no expense was spared. This all made for a luscious romantic day out with my love in a gorgeous setting, Thank you Michael!

Now THAT'S a picnic. Happy anniversary too!
What was the Malouf dukkah like? It's obviously not available over here in Ireland - there's not much dukkah at all - but, as far as I know, I have one of Malouf's dukkah recipes from Arabesque so should dig that out and get cracking!
Happy anniversary from D and me.
Thks for the happy wishes!
As for the dukkah, was fantatic with some good olive oil & fresh bread, suggest you try it out!
Dom. Very lucky. Very posh. Back to the cava...sigh.
