Tuesday 29th July - fish with...

 Fish with pea and lettuce; now this was a bit of a find from the GoodFood website. It's a recipe for one, so was easy enough to scale up for the two of us.

It's shredded little gem lettuce, some sliced spring onions, and a handful of frozen peas all mixed together with a splash of olive oil, and an individual fillet of haddock on top with a bit of  salt and pepper and a table spoon of creme fraiche. Cover with cling film, pierce, and microwave for six or seven minutes...  check the link for full details. 

As usual I didn't have all the ingredients. I substituted some finely chopped onion for the spring onions, and Greek yoghurt for creme fraiche. 

It was delicious. And very quick to make. Definitely one to keep.

Day off

It was a gentle slow day for me. I did what I felt like doing, and didn't do much of anything I should, perhaps, have been doing...

I've been binge-reading the first two books in 'The Cemeteries of Amalo' series by Katherine Addison. They are fantasy whodunit, set in a world of goblins and elves. They all have complicated names which I can't remember, so I'm constantly getting confused as I hurtle through the interwoven plot threads. But I don't care, I'm enjoying the comprehensive world she has built, the language, religions, customs,way of life. Plus the ghouls, and forensic investigations, and political intrigues.

I have crammed the knitted part of the scarf into a small bag, as it was getting into a hopeless tangle as it got longer and longer. Now it's a bit easier to manage. 

Music

More piano duets; a couple of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances, played with obvious enjoyment my Andras Schiff and Yuja Wang.
