Food for the Summer

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Peas. Fresh peas in the pod. I eat them by the pound and I can't get enough of them for that short space of time when they're in season. Been growing my own with limited success.

Oh, and Pimms.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

make the tomatoes wee cherry ones and i am all over that like an embarressing rash.

Todays lunch, which had 'eat in the sun written all over it (and not 'eat at desk', bah) was:

OLive Ciabatta with:

Red Onion
Lettuce
Tomatoe
Thinly sliced smoked ham
and Mozerella

Shiznit.

Oh, and respberries for desert.

Although i have just noticed the raspberries are from the USA, which has put me off a bit. can't be that fresh, eh?

Watermelon. Corn on the Cob. And fish tacos, though not neccesarily a summer thing, are always refreshing. A semi-decent way to make them is to fry up tilapia with tons of cayenne and black pepper, a little bit of garlic and onion powder and salt, and eat on tortillas with corn, red bell peppers, fresh onion slices, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, avacado and about a gallon of limes.

Summerfruits, like berries (those tiny red ones that are a bit tangy) and raspberries and the ones that grow in my mother's garden (like raspberries but dark purple/black).

Pastasalad :)

Good quality icecream

[edit] Pickles are good too! Need to buy more.

I meant the orange flavoured chocolate covered biscuit, as opposed to oranged coloured antarctic marine birds. I think.... ;)

I wonder what penguins (the marine birds) taste like? ;) Probably chicken. Everything you've never had tastes like chicken. Might be good on the BBQ though..... :D

My wife (the artist occasionally known as Bumblemus Prime) gets weird cravings all the time. I don't know how it'll change when she's pregnant. We'll go to bed, I'll be just aboutt asleep and she'll say, "Do you think we could get chicken wings right now?"
