The best laid plans..

..of mice and men, of cabbages and kings

Well, I got home all prepared to do some baking in advance of the party on Saturday (err... yes - a party on Saturday, didn't I say?). ..but as it turned out the filo pastry I bought wasn't. It's something nearer to shredded wheat - and I'm sure I've got a recipe somewhere that can use it - but it's not much good for salmon parcels.

So I got on with my 'filo-cigars' using the other filo from the freezer.. but strangely enough this recipe for 30 only lasted to thirteen. Oh dear. I feel a re-planning on the catering front coming on.

Still - I got the music sorted. Mostly salsa -as you might have guessed - but life would be dull without a little cha-cha and merengue don't you think? A little reggae, and some reggaeton - calypso, disco, some soul and something very "drum machine" off that 'Trainspotting' album John gave me. Perfect.. There's always the fast forward button :-)
