Sas' Magical Mystery Tour

June 22, 2008

winter feasting

There were candles and firelight and slow roasted lamb shanks. Mashed parsnip, a winter salad of kumara, pumpkin and feta. A lovely slosh of kiwi pinot including a bottle of Ata Rangi that has been winking at me since last October. We cracked it open with dinner and it was spectacular. Rich, smooth velvety. Awesome. And G brought divine little creamy limey cupcakes for dessert. The lads enjoyed a couple of glasses of Laphroaig over a late night game of Scrabble (in which Science Guy & I were truly crap). The All Blacks won, and the South is bracing itself for snow. All is well in our little corner of the world.

Chop up pieces of kumara and pumpkin into bite sized pieces. Bake in olive oil at 180 for about 35-40 mins. In a bowl chuck a pile of salad greens. Basil, spinach as well if you fancy. Add in the cooked veges.Chop up some yummy feta. Throw that in too.Toast a handful of pinenuts and pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle over the salad.Drizzle some good olive oil over the lot.Enjoy!

Watts once said: any attempt to define oneself is like 'trying to bite ones own teeth'. Anyway. I am an ENTP, a Four, a Libran and a Water Ox; scatterbrained, organised, coulrophobic, messy, hopeful, sarcastic, optimistic, romantic.

I ♡ freshly ground black coffee, travelling on trains, white roses, hugs, finishing crosswords, steak medium-rare, a well-turned phrase, big-brained scientists, the departure lounge, my homemade marmalade on toasted crumpets, hand-written letters, the possibility of aliens, the possibility of god, remote New Zealand beaches, jazz trumpets, the colour red, rom-coms, the information superhighway, organic shapes, the poetry of ee cummings, the Bach cello suites of Yo-Yo Ma, ad-free content, picnics, pay day, and a good night's sleep.

I live London with the techie beekeeping paramour (ash) and the furs (rex & badger).
