Let's pretend it's summer!
As happy as I was last weekwith the first sign of spring, as drairy it is again today. Just went outside for some skating in the park with my kids, but went straight home when my ears started to freeze off.. There is this saying in Holland, which goes like this:
'March moves it's tail, april does as it pleases, and may adds some more..' When i write this down in english it sounds ridiculous, due to the fact it makes no sense at all, and doen's even rhyme! Well, anyway, it means we're not yet done with wintery days, and as beautiful the weather seemed to be last week, as cold and wet it is today, which isn't particularly an exception for this time of the year. It actually means carpe diem. Just run outside, when you see a bit of light! That rhymes for sure.
So. If the sun won't come out just yet, we just have to pretend. And nothing beats a summery salad on your plate. It's weekend right? Pour yourself a nice glass of wine, mayby an icecold Chardonnay, and enjoy the crispy spinach salad with sun dried oven roasted tomatoes. By the way, you can save these tomatoes for about two weeks in your fridge by cover them with olive oil, in a sealed container. Very nice over some pasta.
