I am pretty sure we went back to Mr. Holmes for more pastry. Chocolate croissant, more sticky buns, another danish?
Lunch was Delfina: salad with canneloni beans, lemon, tuna and watercress (Jessica said it wasn't as good as she remembered), a salad with avocado, pistachios and green goddess dressing (would have been better with a bit more of the delicious dressing). Margherita pizza was excellent, but the pizza with prosciutto and arugula was problematic: when you leave the slices of prosciutto whole, and the leaves of arugula large and stemmy, you make for a difficult to eat pizza. We should have stopped with the margherita. They were out of the two desserts we really wanted, and the panna cotta was merely serviceable. Such fussy customers!
Dinner was Cheese School. Really beautiful setting and a fun evening. We talked about pairing cured meats and cheeses, plus there were beer pairings. I think Jessica's favorite part was the side dish of picked golden beets and red onions.
