CDWM: Lauren continues to feed us

28 July 2010

By now, we were full of crudités, soup, fish pie, cheesecake and sorbet. But there was more! Lauren brought out a plate of her trademark dark chocolate truffles to finish us off. As we enjoyed them the tealights along the centre of the table began to burn out one by one – Suzy hastily rearranging them if one dared to dwindle out of sequence.

Continuing the quiz theme that had sprung up after my CDWM evening, Lauren brought out a box of general knowledge trivia questions for us to take turns asking and answering. Trivia is much more my area – no useful information here, no siree – , but there was no score-keeping. So technically, I won.

Then our hostess revealed that there was one more treat for us and we were each presented with a cardboard box, with a personalised, hand-stamped gift tag. Inside … more food, but food to take home with us this time: a whoopie pie. I’d not heard of whoopie pies before, but very much enjoyed it a couple of days later with a cup of coffee. It’s two chocolate cakey-biscuity things sandwiched together with marshmallow goo in the centre and proved to be a very tasty memento of a great evening. And we got to keep the boxes. Seriously, stationery and food – Lauren has me sussed.

Lauren’s own photos of the evening can be found on her Flickr photostream

That meal looked seriously wow and a party bag to take home. I’m totally impressed, I have also been left quite a bit hungry, but its too late for food.

Whoopie pies are from Maine, USA. We make them wicked awesome.

I make the filling with lard, some people use marshmallow.
