Phew!
It’s just been so warm out there that I can’t bear to put the oven on. I’ve been living on cold beer, salad and ice-cream. Even the thought of turning on the hob bring me out in a sweat.
Nah, not really…
Though we did have a pretty nice day on Saturday - sat out on the beach and didn’t even have to put on our sweaters until 7pm! (Actually it was really nice - I even went for a swim!) But that’s not the point. When I made this last week, we had barely had a glimmer of sun in weeks (ish…) So I thought I would attempt to bring some sunshine into our lives with this no-cook pasta sauce.
And it worked. It tasted like greenhouses, gardens and lazy bees*… the noise of lawnmowers over the way, and the bbq two doors down. And just so long as I turned up the central heating and put on my SAD light, I was almost able to persuade myself that it was summer after all…
