Well, we were guaranteed no lie in this morning as the Australian Open Final was on TV and Andy Murray was playing - Nic would have probably foregone all meals today just to ensure that she did not miss it. After a quick call to her Mum & Dad in Oz to catch up on things she sat down to a breakfast of fried leftover haggis slices, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried egg, potato scone and baked beans. A right plateful but she needed the energy to see her through the match.
Steve also baked a granary loaf, again the Hovis mix which was semi-successful, dropping slightly. Still not at all sure what's going wrong, though it's still light and moist with a delicious just-crisp crust.
Game suitably over and Nic consoled with a cup of tea, we headed off to see Steve's Mam and take her on the weekly food shopping trip.
Lunch was leftover tri-tip beef, rare, with dijon on the granary (& pickled onions of course!) and was followed by a lazy afternoon for the two of us watching The Bridge. After great feedback from friends who've seen it, it's proving to be a big hit in this house too.
Dinner was a mixed fish pie: salmon, smoked haddock and cod, leeks, peas, lemon and saffron sauce with a bit of tenderstem broccoli on the side.
