We are summoned to my mother's tomorrow. Afterwards, there will be cocktails and friends to recover.

I am baking Shrewsbery Cakes today for this, which I used to think were 16th century but are actually 17th or 18th. They're still delicious - a sugar/butter cookie with nutmeg and rose-water. They should be a good finger food. Last year I made Red Apple Tart, which got completely ignored because it wasn't finger food. (sigh)
