The Dowager's Birthday

The Dowager celebrates her 84th birthday today. We are having a special dinner at home, courtesy of Marks and Spencer PLC.

The Number One cutlery will be used; and the candelabra lit for the occasion.

The menu will be as follows:-

• soufflé de langoustine
• filet de boeuf Béarnaise
• pommes frites
• oignons frits a la Français
  
• chou-fleurs au gratin

We have a choice of puddings in the fridge; though we may have sufficient to eat!
I also have a bottle of cheap-and-cheerful bubbly chilling away.
