Elf Blood

Uuuurgh. While Scotland basks in what can only be described as its own personal summer, some friends decided that it would be a good idea to have a barbecue. And it was quite awesome – as usual, we prepared far too much food, but what we DID consume was plenty delicious.

Before I crawl off to bed to try and sleep off the remainder of this food coma, I’m just going to reveal the surprise hit of our bbq: Baked Camembert. Seriously, try it. Take Camembert cheese, push some cloves of garlic in, push some sprigs of thyme in, keep it in the lower half of the round wooden box it comes in, wrap in foil, then sit in the coals for like 5-10 minutes. Then have at it with fresh-baked bread; I made a loaf of Khorasan wheat and another of malted wheat, and both just worked so well with the cheese.

Anyways, toodles for now, and I’ll see you again on Friday! Ciao!
