Sekrit Projekt A revealed

As mentioned last night, it was a birthday meal for raggedy_man, a collaboration between the_mendicant, whiskeylover and myself.
The menu

Salmon, Asparagus and Prawn Mousse Terrine by whiskeylover

The problem with this gorgeous dish was the texture. Cutting it without an electric knife was just about possible but then transferring the slices to a plate in one piece was basically impossible without losing cohesion. Oh well, it was still very nice to eat.

Stupid me forgot to take a picture of the finished plate so this is one of the making.
Sides were a cheesy potato bake, new potatoes, peas, carrots, baked broccoli and caulliflower and my pepper/feta salad.

I really should have taken a photo of nekofairy666's plate because it looked the nicest as making the pattern in the yoghurt worked better. It still tasted absolutely fantastic, if I may say so myself. I give myself a 9/10 for taste (the tart berries worked really well with the dark chocolate) but only a 6/10 for presentation. Must try harder next time...

Still, the main objective was achieved: raggedy_man loved it all. :o)

[Photo] raggedy_man preview, part I

raggedy_man had complained that there aren't any decent photos of him anywhere so we tried a few things.
The first one was a series in his airsofting gear and this is a selection:

A few more are in the flickr set for the weekend. This set will be expanded as I go through the preview so keep an eye on it.
