An offering to The Sun Gods

[subscribe2]

I’m pretty sure it’s July, which means it must be summer – right? Mmm… I don’t know about you folks in the other parts of the Northern Hemisphere, but here in the UK, we might be forgiven for thinking that we’re stuck in an autumnal time warp!

Never one to bemoan the weather, I find myself, however, joining in the doleful chorus echoing throughout the British Isles, despondently calling on Apollo, Helios, Arinna, Tonatiuh et al for some much needed warmth and light! Even this rain loving creature has had enough! Our back garden backs on to the River Stour with a golf course on the other side. About a week ago, we woke up to burst riverbanks and a completely flooded golf course – first time in the 4 years or so we’ve been here!

So, in a desperate attempt to appease the Gods, I am offering them a summer menu, simple yet tasty and colourful in the hope that this oblation will deliver us what we’ve all been waiting for – SUNSHINE!

1. Simple Summer Salmon

2. Sauteed New Potatoes

3. Mango & Avocado Salsa

One goes in the oven, the second on the stove and the third, in the fridge – easy, peasy, lemon squeezy, as my kids would say! So quick and simple, it hardly qualifies as cooking! Guaranteed, every time! If only we could say the same about our summer!

I’m off for yet another hot mug of coffee to visit my friend Paloma for Coffee Friday at The Coffee Shop! For everything coffee, that’s where it’s at! If you fancy linking up, just mention the word coffee and you can join us!
