Lovely Lunch Treat

Dorian rang up and offered me lunch at the Hilton - Galvin at Windows. This was an offer I could not refuse after all the recent misery.

I put a smart suit on and we went to the 28th floor, fab views over most of London and Buck House with its back garden and had a super cocktail. Cant remember what it is called but it was a lump of sugar with Grand Marnier poured over, then a peach liquer, then topped up with prosecco. For lunch we both had starters of octopus and those spicy Spanish sausages, all sliced very thinly among a green leaf salad. We consumed a bottle of white wine, and both went on to a decent pork cutlet (quite large) which had been cooked freshly with pommes puree petits pois and broad beans - damn good. I finished up with an excellent gooseberry fool and Dorian with a wonderfully artistic and delicious strawberry parfait. We had two lots of coffee and petits fours, and they sweetened the bill with home made strawberry and coffee marshmallows. Excellent, and many thanks to Dorian for putting a smile back on my face!
