Yesterday morning's amazing 6am sky.
The old adage, a red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning, proved true. An icy wind howled all day and brought equally icy squalls of rain with it. So chilly, my woolly slippers found their way on to my feet. We are supposed to be sweltering in plus 35C heat.
Last evening's meat free Monday, as usual, came mostly out of the jar. It was the now popular marinated chickpea salad and because it was a cold evening, I kept the couscous hot and made with McGregor Herbes de Provence's new product: organic green stock. Then I stirred some harissa through it.
I topped all of that with roasted peppers and fresh coriander. We ate it with a side salad that I made in Paul's bowls and and from Trish's gorgeous platter, served into another pair of Paul's bowls. I mention this, specifically, because I mentioned to Trish that, so often, two, if not three of McGregor's potters join us for our evening meal or afternoon tea.
Until next time, be well
