Summer Eating
With bright evening- even those which follow crummy rainy mornings- I find myself with the urge to eat ’summer tea’. This is a loose concept, I’ll admit, but generally just means the sort of food you wouldn’t feel so satisfied by had you just come in from the cold, and were eating to a dark window.
On Sunday night I had been up at the gorgeous St Giles Cathedral (had I ever been inside before? I’m honestly not sure I had!) for their Music at 6 series to see my pal Chris singing with Rudsambee (that’s him with the tufty hair, second bottom from the left on the piccie!). It was a great little concert (only 45 minutes) with a polish lullaby my particular fave. I walked out at nearly 7pm, into a cool Edinburgh evening with the sun still shining, and ambled my way down the Royal Mile and home. Of course this is a complete lie, one cannot simply amble (into Mordor) anywhere during the fringe, least of all down the mile. However I must look mean as I made it from North Bridge to St Giles (and back again) without being offered a single flier!
I shopped on the way home (in a nasty supermarket but it was after 7 on a Sunday) and picked up this simple feast: corn on the cob; british lamb chops (teeny, so two each and still a delicate portion) seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled and the bits and pieces for a wee greek salad- you know, to match the lamb. Served with a glass of New Zealand Sauv Blanc, even though it was a Sunday, because, you know, I’m in training. I had cooked the lamb a little more than I would have liked but otherwise it was scrummy. Light enough to leave room for some pud later too!
mr typo here… you mean loose, not lose (second line)
2 wee lamb chops n a salad sounds pretty yummy to me.
Hope Camille warmed you up in the end….
fixed! ta!
Given that I STILL haven’t seen you in person, I am STILL entirely befuddled as to what you are doing at the University of Glasgow. I mean, I’m proud and happy even without knowing but I suppose the joy would be a little sweeter if I had some detail…..
This may not come as a surprise. It hasn’t surprised an awful lot of people, but I’ve got one or two along the way. I’m off to be a medical student, along with lots if people born in 1991 and a few delicate souls even more crinkly than me :o)
Not surprised but still very pleased for you! I think you will make a Kick Ass doctor, have you got any idea what area you want to go into? Good luck with the 17 year olds…….:-)
Your photos should be made into a book. A book I can eat!!
