Summer Fruits

I love the summer. I love the variety of fruits available. I have eaten so much fruit today and although I have to count the points I really do not mind too much as the fruit is delicious and feels like a real treat.

I do try to eat seasonal and local produce whenever I can as it tastes so much better and I also feel bad about the environmental costs of eating fruit out of season (having to be airfreighted in etc).

So far today I have eaten, pineapple, strawberries, nectarines, raspberries apple and may have some melon later.

When fruit is so cheap and readily available it seems a waste not to eat it.

Grilled Meat and Salad

Further to my previous post this is what I am currently eating. In this case it was a rather nice ribeye steak seared and served medium rare with dry fried mushrooms, salad and a chunk of French bread. I added some very low fat mayo and a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar.

Sometimes I forget how tasty simple food can be.
