Liz had planned to have a Royal Wedding tea party with red, white and blue cup cakes but life conspired against us and it never quite happened. So instead I offered to host a St Helena Day celebration pot luck lunch! Each guest picked a St. Helena recipe kindly scanned, typed and emailed by my friends on the island and in the UK and then brought that dish with them. Those who preferred not to cook brought juice or cake from the shop. Maddison’s friend Louisa even made a St Helena flag badge.
There was tuna fishcakes, bbq chicken legs, chicken curry but no plo! Melinda had taken the plo recipe but didn’t make it! For desert we had impossible pudding, chocolate fridge cake, sherry trifle, lemon mouse and some Egyptian treats. All very delicious!!
To entertain I printed off this weeks Independent and some articles from our time on the Island. I had a map from school to let people know where the Island is and printed off some of the maps on the internet. We also put out the 2011 diary Peter Johnson put together . In the background we listened to St FM and on the television there was a slide show of some of the photos I had taken.
Cool idea Pam! We should do that...maybe we should do that when you visit here!
