Going to keep it short as writing from phone but here's a couple of things we cooked.
Made a smoked mackerel salad with beetroot, watercress and fennel for lunch. Delicious mix of flavours, light and easy to make. See photo.
In the evening we did a 'Ready Steady Cook' on everything we still had in the house/fridge.
Made tomato & garlic bruschetta on toasted sourdough bread. You just cannot beat it! As long as you have very ripe tomatoes, you can't go wrong.
White asparagus (which I had brought with me from Belgium) the Flemmish way: with Ruth's leftover ham from Sunday, boiled eggs and melted butter. A first time for Ruth. Think she liked it................!!! See picture.
For afters I put 4 quarters of pear with stilton and honey in the oven. Again with some toasted sourdough. Simple. Very tasty. Especially when finishing that bottle of Chateau Musar! A wine Ruth and I have lots of good memories associated with from our management consultant days....... Say no more, say no more....
Thanks Ruth for the very personal conversations we had. You are a beautiful person and a great friend!
Tonight we shall be having supper at the Millbrook Inn next door. SUCH a treat! Can't wait.... We have organised a babysitter too so it will be an uncomplicated and relaxed eve of food, wine and fun. Brrrrrrrring it on!
Love,
X Bee
