1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.
Mmmm...nutella. I once heard it said that nutella is "God in a sweet, spreadable form." That sounds like a fitting description to me.
ReplyDeleteYou do seem to like the purple/orange, purple/yellow combinations...a possible replacement for the bright red hallway?
ReplyDeleteI still remember the first time I ever tried Nutella. I thought I was eating heaven. I was 17 years old. That is way too late in life for that.
ReplyDeleteChristine: I think Katie might try to hurt me if I suggest that...
ReplyDeleteKristen (and Whitney): Isn't it wonderful. I can't believe how chocolatey it tastes compared with most chocolate spreads. Does anyone else have any Nutella memories?
Or for that matter, any memories involving 'This is way too late in life for me to be doing this for the first time? My favourite is looking at stars through binoculars for the first time at the age of 28.
Nutella....for my birthday, I made waffles with nutella for my friends. It made their day!
ReplyDeletethanks for your kind words on my blog...Lynn www.siberianiris.wordpress.com
Oh yes, Nutella. Discovered this in S. Africa, and that was 21 years ago. Still keeps it in the cupboard. Lekker!!
ReplyDeleteA way-too-late listing: typing silly, cheeky comments, at almost 50 yo, on a site called "I can has cheezburger?". Someone called it "Mangleslang".
