Dinner party

Last night we had a couple of friends over for dinner. The theme of the evening was "Summer's Bounty" (a.k.a. "use up vegetables!").

Dinner was:

1. A vegetable (zucchini, peppers, onion, herbs) tart
2. Rösti with bacon
3. Chard stewed with olive oil, butter, and a bit of balsamico
   
4. And, of course, green salad
   

We had gone to the Saturday market to get fruit, so for dessert we had fruit, nuts, and cheese:

1. two kinds of plums, as well as mirabelles
2. some very small variety of pear
3. dried apricots and dates
   
4. toasted walnuts
5. toasted almonds with cumin and salt
6. Emmenthal and Bundner cheeses

The food was very successful (aside from the crust on the tart being ugly, er, I mean, rustic). I'll do separate postings for the tart and the rösti.
