No, the azaleas were not on the tables Monday night. I took this photo some weeks back and hadn't gotten around to using it. On Monday night the flowers were feijoa blossoms. Chef Seaborn's father has a large stand of feijoa bushes, and since they produced several hundred pounds of fruit last year, I guess he figured he could spare a few blossoms for this occasion. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feijoa
Incidentally, I've become quite fond of feijoas in my old age. Scooping out the fruit, as described in the link, works for me, and it tastes great with oatmeal or Fiber 1. But the preserves and chutneys made from it are wonderful, and just recently I had my first feijoa mincemeat pie (managing to eat the whole thing myself).
I would love to take photos of the meals themselves, but one does hate to take out a camera at such a time.
