Romanesque

 

What do you suppose I should do with this?

Found in our little green grocer in the village, it insisted that I take it home. Frankly, all I could think of to do with it is to frame it. It's a cross between a broccoli and a cauliflower... so apparently known to its friends as broccoflower, which I don't think does it justice. The sign on the basket said Romanesque.

I suppose it will be eaten raw with a dip, but I'll keep you posted (pun intended).

Day in Town.

Trinity College


Alastair and I headed into the centre of Cambridge on Saturday to do a bit of shopping and have dinner. If you've heard from Alastair his views on Cambridge on a Saturday, you'll appreciate that this is especially brave. Fortunately, it wasn't as crowded as one would expect. I imagine most of the tourists with families have headed home by now and all the mums had shopped themselves to exhaustion preparing for school to start this week.

I pocketed our camera since I've grown tired of arriving in town only to curse not having it. Perhaps this is me growing, learning. We took advantage of the summer sales a bit, revived at Starbucks in Borders, then recuperated over bento boxes and Kirin beer at Teri-Aki. Not a bad day.
