A phrase that pops up in the press is "guilty pleasure". Rubbish stuff that we're ashamed to admit that we enjoy, like Fashion TV.Well, Olive magazine is my non-guilty pleasure: I just bought it and it was the British issue, reminding me of all the good things to eat: sausages, biscuits, brunches, sticky puddings, fish and chips, trifle and treacle tart...! A sort of "back to basics". It even eerily echoed a few of my recent posts, on jelly and Golden Syrup and how the British are becoming established foodies...! So good.
The French have a phrase: lèche vitrine, literally, lick-window, when you're window shopping, looking but not buying. Well I was eating with my eyes. An expensive meal, but worth it.
PS: In the continuing hot weather am in a granitering like crazy phase. Did cucumber, tomato, pesto and fresh coriander = good, served as side to some steak. And last night did pineapple, mosambi (sweet lime) and fresh mint. Not yet tasted, the Haagen Daaz was raided instead.

So, how do you do the "granitering"?
Sounds like a great idea and somehow I am clueless as to how best to do it (might be the heat getting to my brain!)
