Lunch

by miramaze @ Thursday, 17. Jul, 2008 – 16:33:54

Had a lovely lunch with the Prof and his lady. They're both brown as berries and looked well and healthy. Lunch was an amazing couscous salad with oranges, grapefruit, cashews, avocado and grilled halloumi all tied together with a piquant citrus dressing.YUM ! A most unusual combination , but absolutely delicious.

Saw their Madeira holiday pics. Apparently the sea was amazing - the crystal clear and clean and surprisingly warm. Food in the restaurants mainly disappointing apart from one or two exceptions.Local fruit and veggies delicious when bought fresh. They'd rented a car for the day and travelled all over the island along zig zag mountain roads.

And.... I got a pressie

Cheers

    Oh god, I'm hungry now...blue cheese and mushrooms are two of my VERY FAVOURITE FOODS. Add Madeira as well and I'd be in heaven.
    
    Can I please have more cheese for dessert instead of the chocolate thingie?
    
    *not at all jealous, oh no *

I used to work with a guy from Medeira, never thought of going there though. Glad they had a great time, they deserved it after what happened.

  Thank you ! Johanna was worried that the one they bought for her father might be too sweet as he had specifically asked for " dry ". The problem is that most of the labels were written in Portuguese and it was hard to tell. Bless our children , they worry just like we do,
  
  I am very happy with my pressie !
