A Taste of England

My mission was to get settled in September and spend October socializing...well I have socialized a little in October.

I had my first social at the new house by inviting a few women from my mom's club over to sample a bit of England. We started with English Cheddar and water tablet crackers to ease into the more serious stuff. Next, we moved onto a Lancashire melted on some bread and British ale. Then came the Cheshire with apples, more bread and ale. Finally, we moved onto the stilton served with port and toasted walnuts. I also attempted to make some Nottingham Coffee Biscuits which were okay, the Derbyshire Chocolate Cake was a disaster and unservable (tasted good, but stuck to the pan and was unable to be pried out!). We had a few other European goodies and some great conversation which I have been missing!
