I love aubergines so I...what a fab celebration. <br />I love aubergines so I'll definitely be trying your pate. Made a beetroot hummus a few weeks ago which used walnuts and they added a lovely texture. Vegetable or bean spreads are my answer to enjoying a little bread from time to time at the moment. A loaded open top slice instead of a sandwich - half the bread double the taste. yumnic@nipitinthebudhttp://www.nipitinthebud.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-16294307703504895032010-11-03T12:33:40.681+11:002010-11-03T12:33:40.681+11:00Love the cake - it is so cute!Love the cake - it is so cute!Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-47217720259415422882010-11-03T12:19:09.255+11:002010-11-03T12:19:09.255+11:00so wonderful that you celebrate their birthdays.....so wonderful that you celebrate their birthdays.... the spread looks AMAZINGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-82718416583360790622010-11-03T01:13:12.270+11:002010-11-03T01:13:12.270+11:00That pate sounds lovely!
