our weekend suppers

A certain little lady drives for ninety minutes. This is just some of what she brings with her. To say we eat a supper of bread and cheese does no justice at all to this sumptuous feast: numerous exotic, flavoured cheeses; rosemary bread; dipping oils loaded with herbs and spices; crackers; bruschetta; antipasto tomato salad; a giant cheese cake; and milk chocolate.

As if all that were not enough, she bakes buttermilk biscuits (scones in the UK) which sit in bags in my freezer.

Early on dark and windy mornings she rises at 5am and trudges across my icy parking lot amid swirling snow flurries to face a ninety minute drive to work.

It's an incredible life.

master chef!

During the past six years I have begun to learn the basics of cooking and baking, nothing spectacular but hopefully a little more appetising than microwaved ready meals!

I baked a chocolate cake. Sadly my icing turned into toffee so I cut the cake into squares and steadily we are eating it with lashings of hot custard. (My mum would be smiling.)

More food for thought here.
