Then there was homemade bread
with ham and tomatoes. I liked this presentation with capers:
There was a selection of Sicilian cheeses,
the new season's grapes
and I resurrected my quickest-ever lemon cake, jazzing it up with pink icing sugar:
A fine lunch for those who had spent a hard morning thinking about olive picking!
Ah now if the thinking of a sin is as bad as the sin as itself then then surely the intent to pick olives deserves a fine meal!
ReplyDeleteI'm there for the next lunch date.
ReplyDeleteA very fine lunch indeed. Just thinking of picking olives can make one tired, if one thinks hard enough.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will be out picking very soon but in the meantime have happy bellies (looks delicious)
ReplyDeleteIt's the thought that counts, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThe lasagne looks amazing!
Pink icing sugar! Is that a Sicilian staple?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a piece of that lemon cake right now :-)
ReplyDeleteFor a lunch that wasn't, it looks mighty like a lunch that was.
ReplyDeleteThe bread and the cake are my faves. They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI like that kind of logic, jams! See you soon, then, lakeviewer! I agree, Miss Footloose. Hi, Lost. Yes, as dsoon as the rain holds off. Hi, Natslie and welcome. Absolutely! Hi, WW. No, but you can find several colours in one supermarket chain here. Coming up, Cherie! As indeed it was, James! Hi, fullet. The bread was so comforting!
ReplyDeleteI had apples and grapes from a friends garden at the week end both delish, nothing better than home grown :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Sally. Couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteSi mangia bene!!
