Sausages~Colcannon~Apple sauce
Laura cooked lunch today to give Richard a rest. He is struggling to walk as his arthritis has been causing him a lot of pain for the last week or so. Yoelson and I would love to give him a big hug to make him feel better, but we don’t want to freak him out. I am pleased that Laura seems to have made way too much food for two people because it means we can eat some of the leftovers. Laura is a very slow cook, and the kitchen looked a complete mess by the time she had finished. I think she must have used every saucepan and utensil we have, but it was worth it as her and Richard seemed to thoroughly enjoy their lunch. Laura made homemade sausages, they are so much nicer than store bought ones and you know exactly what’s in them, she also made colcannon, and homemade apple sauce. We are looking forward to eating a little of everything later this afternoon. We sat outside on the terrace for a while at lunch time, it’s hard to believe that it’s January as the temperature in the sun was 31c, fantastic. It was lovely and peaceful outside too, until some of the local men met up across the river to go hunting. I have assured Yoelson that they hunt wild boar, they won’t be shooting at us. I hope I am correct, I think I am, they definitely don’t look like Teddy Bear hunters.
