V Day weekend

I survived the super active and foodilicious weekend! Thank god for Mondays!
A little respite and time to catch up on the Blog (and eat Dahl and rice)... from el blotto to el blogo...
Thats not to say I was el blotto the whole weekend, there was a lot of climbing up Chapmans Peak for V day and yoga..... and in between all of this activity I ate a lot of lamb, and drank ice ice icey cold beer and pinot noir...

Ah yes mid summer lamb.
The fall off the bone, suck out the marrow, lamb curry (on the bone) at Maharajah on Friday.
Succulent lamb shanks with green chilli raita and rotis on Saturday at friends, and saddle lamb chops with a minty potato salad (I want more) on Sunday made by friends who-braai-so-well. So, actually, I didn't do any of the cooking this weekend, just the eating....

There was also a little trip to the courtyard of Caveau for lunch on Saturday, and here we managed to keep it light with Camillas choice of salmon tartare and thin chips. The sushi platter was good, the sashimi was the best of it. My friend Mr S had the entrecote from HQ, with the thin chips again and the Cafe de P Sauce, and it was delicious. We drank Waterford ¨Rose -Mary¨ Rosé, like water, and finished off with a couple of local grappas - yay – and espressos.
We also shared a little crème bruleé, which is the nicest thing Ive had for R25 for while.

The crowd was a decent mixture of the usual suspects, Japanese perlemoen smugglers posing as legit, uptight Eurofools in pastels smiling for no reason, and washed out joburg party poopals - fun.
