We were treated to a wonderful three courses of mostly home-made delights. We commenced with spring rolls (not homemade) as we sat around and chatted.
We migrated towards the table and continued on with baked polenta and a mushroom ragout. The polenta was very interesting, I've not had baked polenta before and I was intrigued by its sort-of solid consistency. It seems like the sort of thing that likes to soak up liquid. The mushroom ragout was awesome. This was served with a side of their amazing roasted salad, featuring roasted pumpkin and fried pinenuts (which were so good).
We rounded the meal out with berry agar-agar jelly hearts, two-fruits, and a delicious banana and passionfruit sorbet made by Gilli. I love homemade sorbet, it is awesome. I particularly liked the hearts - more foods should be great shapes!
It was a great night out, I love visiting friends! In between courses we paused for chats, tea, and board games. We played a game of Blokus (which I won) and a game of MOUSETRAP. It has been years since I've played Mousetrap, so that was a bit interesting. The game itself is sadly not as engaging as I remembered, perhaps because I am now much older than I was when I coveted it.

Your dinner looks fairly awesome. Although I have difficulties with the idea of store bought spring rolls. They're so easy to make, I don't understand why people buy premade packs.
Dinner was awesome!
Not everyone has been making spring rolls since they were little, you know! That final tuck needs practice! :o)
Such great friends to provide a delicious dinner that you could eat! I think anyone would enjoy those dishes, specific food requirements or not. :)
