After a fairly uneventful journey back to the UK I've had to settle into the work plan for November and really get on with stuff. It's not coming easily to me, beset by worries that everything will go terribly wrong and panicking because although places for the dates in Nottingham and Ealing are going fast there seem to be no vegans or vegan-curious diners in the whole of the Milton Keynes / Newport Pagnell area. It's a worry and with just 10 days to go I need some new ideas for publicity.
Pictured above the Hazelnut Shortbreads to go with the Fruit Compotes and Ginger Ices on the Newport Pagnell menu. They worked quite well and I'll have another go to perfect the cooking times when the private Dress Rehearsal lunch takes place this Sunday. Guests for that are mostly coming up from London, although Alex who is hosting the Nottingham event with his husband will come down for the day.
I hate to beg but I'm going to. If you have any friends, relatives or contacts in the Newport Pagnell area (we're close to Bedford, Northampton and Milton Keynes too) and you think they'd like to try some Underground Dining (they don't have to be vegan, the food will stand on its own merit) then do let them know we have an event on the 12th November. Tickets are available here, I can accept email reservations at catofstripes@gmail.com and the menu and all details are also available at the Stripey Cat Supper Club website.
The vegetables for the mustard pickles, which are degorging before cooking and bottling.
