Friday 10 January
Diane came over, thus becoming our
very first (and very welcome) dinner guest in our Oxford flat.
Luckily by now we had a few wines
delivered from the Majestic warehouse in Summertown, so with some of their Chateauneuf du Pape, some toasted
sourdough bread, and local cheeses (double gloucester and stilton) from the farmers'
market, we could do a pretty good line of starters.
Our main was a good solid roast rump of lamb,
with parsnips and little potatoes we'd set to roasting all around it. In a country without instant-read
thermometers, we couldn't be sure when it reached perfect temperature, but
though it was a little less pink inside than we like, it was still beautifully
tender.
To clear the palate, we also
served a red cabbage and carrot cole slaw.
No dessert served or needed.
