food

this kind of thing can happen over the festive period

more shabby tescos demonstration cakes.  this time it’s something showing how the build-it-yourself gingerbead house should look like.  only all the inhabitants have had their heads removed (and eaten?)

i read about enis’s cafe on the excellent ‘nothing to see here’ blog and a few days later found myself walking past its entrance at lunch time so popped in for a sausage sandwich.  it was as fantastic as i’d hoped and just as mysterious.

i asked whether there was any story behind the decorations and was told “look around you’ll find lots of stories”.

then i was presented my sandwich wrapped in a piece of tissue paper with the words “you’ll find this is spot on”.  And it was.

i’ll be back …

how do they know whether you are going to be quick when you have your lunch ?  and do you really want a bite from the waiter ?

custard and grumble.  luberly

picnicking in a carpark

kezia and i went off to pick our own strawberries yesterday as part of her summer school project.

i just loved all these signs with foods that grow around, under, on or near dirt.

i’ve never seen a currant tree, so that would be a good destination sometime.  actually, i think it might be where they keep the currant families like red, black and yellow/green striped.

and what’s a calabrese ?  i thought that was carpet cleaner

still we got a good fist full.  kezia ate a large proportion of them in the car on the way home.

i’ve no idea if it’s cheaper or more expensive to buy via pick your own.  on one hand you are saving them the labour, but on the other it’s an hour’s fun so you might have to pay for the privilege.

this price chart was quite interesting though.  quite a few random letters and words left over.

what exactly are those burnt things in the picture above ?

we’ve been without a kitchen for a couple of weeks (probably a bit longer) but there’s hopefully only this week to go before we get reinstalled.  over the last few weeks we’ve had loads of dinners out from people at church and it’s been brilliant !  so, thanks to everyone who has had us round !

have a look at what you are eating.
