Hook, line and sinker

Some pretty porcelain in Summerhall




Foraging


Went to a delightful and insightful 'art' the other night.




Composed by 3 men from down in England somewhere; they had come to Scotland with a few vegetables from an allotment and with these objects, and others foraged in and around Edinburgh, they began a process of bartering for food.



The result was two delicious soups, salads and a very potent wild raspberry vodka concoction.
There was also an aray of edible plants.




Sorrel was my favourite - it tasted like raspberries.
I'm looking forward to growing vegetables in te allotment in Dundee soon.

I enjoy pudding.

 Or as some Americans may insist 'Dessert'
This is my lovingly crafted Tira-mi-su with amaretto. 
It went down very well.


Cakes; even better shared.
