The Met Office has just cancelled the "Barbecue Summer" we were supposed to be having, and no wonder. Received wisdom here at Chateau Lunchista is that anyone wishing for sunny and/or warm weather must never, under any circumstances, utter the word "Barbecue". The correct terminology, if we wish to invite people for charcoal-powered alfresco nosh in fine weather, is "An offering of burned meat to the Great God Pluvius".Meanwhile, sixteen days into the St Swithin forty, here at Chateau Lunchista we have had a grand total of 2 (two) days without rain. It has also been incredibly windy for summer: this is the first time in five years that Lunchista has had to tether sunflowers to stop them blowing down (having first had to right them: not a cheery task!).
By the way if you've ever wondered what to do about vegetarians and barbeques, apart from the obvious veggie "kebabs", Haloumi cheese makes a damn fine grill and doesn't melt (and it can go in kebabs as well).
