Oh I don't know what to write tonight...Carrie is doing the dishes from the mexican meal she made for us hours ago and I'm trying to reflect on the day and pick something to share. I made myself a really nice lunch – a BLT with fresh mixed leaf lettuce (we bought some from Waitrose that was planted in soil), organic 'streaky' bacon (which is what they call our kind of bacon here), and some very ripe cherry tomatoes on white toast. I was inspired by the lettuce which reminds me of the kind my grandfather (Pop Pop) used to grow in his garden. My grandmother (Nanna) used to just toss it will a little salt and olive oil for a salad, it was that flavourful that's all it needed. Someday, whenever the dust from all this moving around the world settles for us, I'd like to just keep a small herb and lettuce garden. Nothing too major, but just enough. Maybe by next Spring. For now, I'll enjoy our store bought potted lettuces on the window sill as long as they'll keep.
