Monday morning fried egg on tattie scone for Nic, accompanied by a conversation with her Mum & Dad who are facing some pretty tough weather conditions over in Queensland right now: 130kph winds, 45cm of rain in 24hrs and 24m waves offshore! It's good to be able to check in and make sure they're ok - and fortunately, apart from a few minor leaks, all's well.
Then leftover roast tri-tip and dijon on granary for lunch. The tri-tip has been an excellent buy. It's still juicy and succulent, bursting with umami.
The evening meal was a favourite of Nic's - always, till now, cooked whilst Steve's away in Edinburgh so it was a special request on his part: roasted peppers stuffed with couscous, feta, cherry tomatoes and olives, accompanied by tzatziki. It has vaguely Greek ingredients but we're sure it's never been on a Greek menu anywhere. Nevertheless it was a bright, sunshiny meal for a very wet and miserable day. The snow has now given way to torrential downpours and the beautiful crisp covering of white in the garden and street has all but gone.
Steve went gaming this evening, whilst Nic watched Great British Menu, did another Fit To Ski session (legs're going to feel it tomorrow!) and read more of - appropriately - Stephen Baxter's "Flood".
