Culinary Christmas memory
For Christmas lunch Janet and I cooked a whole Sea Bass that we got at the market the other day and we had it with roast winter vegetables. I worked on and improvised a salad of scallops, lettuce, fennel, little radishes, avocado and blood orange. Mid way through cooking the scallops on the stove- and at the crucial point- the stove turned itself off and we couldn't work out a way of turning it back on. All hell let loose as we frantically flipped through manuals and angrily slammed kitchen drawers. Was a refreshing and delicious salad in the end nonetheless.
We had a quince crumble dessert too, so all was very seasonal to winter. My first cold Christmas as well.
