pass the haggis
a weekend spent in scotland with three of the most excellent people on this earth and wonderful food to boot. sigh. those brits (am i allowed to call them brits?) really outshine their humble yorkshire pud roots these days. market shopping kicks some serious ass in edinburgh; we happened upon a coupla lovely local lamb racks, some delicious salmon, the best gingerbread i've ever come across and a monster pork roll extravanganza that left the boys in raptures. somehow we managed to... er, pass the haggis.
here are some very average photos of our very wonderful sunday roast: pistachio-crusted lamb, lovely spicy sweet potato mash, roasted tomatoes, delicious (if temperamental) minty basil sauce, broccoli and (drum roll) brussels sprouts! yep i'm converted. it's my new favourite green thanks to miss lydia lange.

brussel sprouts? but they are so yucky! what's the secret?
they are groooood. mmm so yummy. like small balls of fun.
here are some things i have learned about green vegetables in recent days:
1. steaming is better for you than boiling (which we knew) but boiling makes them look better (which i didn't know)... and really, which do we care about more?
2. the water should be vigorously boiling, saltier than the sea, and uncovered, always.
3. green beans take 8 minutes, snow peas 2, and i can't remember the others. neil perry is the god of important details.
