I'm excited

So, tonight's the night and quite possibly the highlight in my culinary adventures so far: I'm going to Kai We Care, a charity dinner in aid of the earthquake victims of New Zealand. It's a 7-course menu, cooked by a brigade of fine dining chefs, many of whom are Michelin starred. Mark Poynton, Chef Patron of Alimentum will be cooking the main (the 48-hour lamb). The rest of the menu looks amazing, too.
It's not cheap but for a good cause and it's pretty much a unique event with so many different high class chefs cooking (usually about two per course). A perfect late birthday treat for myself. :o)
Another unique aspect is how the event was organised, almost exclusively via social networking (twitter and facebook), from finding the chefs to sourcing ingredients, drinks and other supplies and the venue (which looks grand indeed).
I might even bid for an item or two in the auction but most of the wallets there will probably be larger than mine.
