Wednesday 21 May
Spring is the time for college
theatricals, and Christ Church was putting on a bit of Goldsmith in the
Cathedral gardens. We went early,
so that we could get front-row seats (just call us Mr. and Mrs. First
Nighter) and have a little picnic before the play.
Holt made a giant frittata with
zucchini, romano pepper, and scallions, which he cut into wedges for picnic-style consumption.
And since we still had a knob of
celery root, he accompanied it with celeriac remoulade: this is simpler and even
tastier than our previous favorite way with this root.
Of course, we brought a bottle of cold
white wine, and some red grapes for dessert; they kept us going through the
interval, as they were not messy to eat.
And oh, the play? Very charmingly produced and acted, and hardly anyone noticed when a couple of pigeons started mating in the chestnut tree above, sprinkling leaves on the hapless cast below. Bravo, Christ Church.
