| The spread. |
 |
| Bacon-wrapped asparagus... |
 |
| A close-up. It was delicious, though more like a pate than boursin. |
 |
| Cashew-based cheesecake, from the same book! I didn't make it vegan; I fermented the cashew paste with dairy yogurt (you just need a little), and I used eggs to bake the cake, because the real aim was being as dairy-free as possible for Sam (who doesn't tolerate dairy well) and eggs are more readily available than agar-agar! Probably cheaper, too. |

| It was wicked good! The crust was hazlenut and prune with vanilla. |
 |
| The topping was cranberry, banana, and a bit of sugar, cooked and poured over the baked cake. SO GOOD! |
Okay, admittedly, we started lunch at 3 PM, because our morning errands didn't commence briskly at 9 AM as I had foolishly hoped, but you know, it was a good meal, and we didn't faint away while we waited for it, so, whateva whateva!
Welcome, Sam!!
Always must plan a 4 hour delay when making plans with Sam!
