Tortellini with olives and spinach.
Hot bean burritos with fake meat, cheese, veggies, and BEER! Great dinner, no? This was on Orkney, just as the sun was going down and setting up for the brilliant sky-on-fire sunset.
Houmous, veggies, olives, blueberries. And Whisky! Great lunch, no? This lunch was on Orkney, so that's Highland Park whisky.
Couscous with red pepper, onion, and spinach.
A pretty awesome curry concoction. This one was really tasty!
Cooking with midges AND sand - no fun at all! This was at Durness.
Eating with midges- even less fun! Which is why we have taken to eating in the tent! This feels blasphemous, coming from heart of bear country where one worries about food smells penetrating fabrics! But midges, the feared and mighty Scottish foes, have caused us do strange things! They have even been know to cause a psychotic state which we have coined "midgicosis".
Yes, we know the tent can never be used in bear country. But by the time we get back to bear country this tent may not be in very good shape anyway....
It's not easy feeding these two hard-core cyclists. But we're getting by!
Funny how you never hear about how awesome the midges are in all those romanticized tales of Bonny Scotland. Well, at least there's no bears. Stay safe my friends. Love ya and miss ya.
ReplyDeleteWe've heard that drinking a tea of "bog wort" will cause the midges to stay away. Apparently one has to drink it regularly for weeks before it has an effect. But, yeah, Liam Neeson was never seen to swat a midge, was he???
