"come dine with me" in Gibraltar

its no ordinary dinner, really. not because of the food, nor of the ambiance, nor of who our guests were but because we want to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. the mister whipped up his own recipe of moussaka which he promptly called "its not moussaka", his own french onion soup as well as dessert which was chocolate creme brulee. now the sugar on top was a bit thicker than normal but i assure you it was all a labor of 100% love.to complement his food, i came up with a very simple table setting thats high on impact but low on pricing ;) (1) dinner plates, BHS £4/each
