We filled FILLED! an Amazon box 📦 with Jersey tomatoes today from the garden. 🍅 Do any of our neighbors want some?
When we visited Highclere Castle in July of 2019, back when the world was right-side-up, one of the most breathtaking parts of the tour, at least for my husband, Greg, was that in behind Highclere Castle during the touring season they set up a bar which had Pimm’s Cup on tap. The next day, amidst the crush of Borough Market in London on a Saturday, we found a vendor selling entire pitchers of Pimm’s Cup for 20 quid. This post is the attempt of replicating the feeling of both sipping Pimm’s Cup whilst strolling through the gardens at Highclere Castle, and enjoying a take away lunch under the overpasses at the bustling Borough Market in London in the summer.
The special time of year when I can enjoy my lavender bushes right before the bees notice and feast. #lavender #bluewillowkitchen
You may be wondering what has happened to us. We are happy to report that I am slowly emerging, scars and all. Caroline went remote for a few weeks and came up to help around the house when things were getting a bit dicey.
With Mom sick again (screw you Cancer), and even though I have essentially moved in after getting fully vaxxed, we still get take out-to go quite a bit. I fully anticipate this tactic to slow down when the semester ends. (How is it that Zoom and working remotely has made it feel like we do *more* work these days?)
I arrived this week to help take care of mom now that I’m fully vaxxed. Bring on the real food! I whipped up a quick dill chicken salad with mandarin oranges and melted cheddar on top under the broiler and put the whole thing on a toasted open-faced sandwich. Simple salad with our favorite balsamic vinaigrette and a dusting of goat cheese crumble. #betterthanhospitalfood
