Summertime!

Posted by Marit on June 30, 2009

So. The year of studying is almost over – now I ‘only’ need to write the dissertation…It was a very interesting year. I did not learn much about cooking (to be honest, this was not my aim here in London), but I obtained a lot of useful knowledge about other stuff.

For example, I know everything there is to know about BBC and public service broadcasting. I also know all about EU telecommunications rules. And by the end of August, when my dissertation is due, I will know all about radio spectrum regulation. But that is not what I wanted to write about. Instead, I wanted to let you know that at last, I will have time to cook proper dishes again. No more take away pizza!

Sausages

And what lovely weather we have here in London – time for bbq! That’s what we did. I’m not sure that our neighbors appreciate us generating bbq odorous in our back yard, but…I haven’t heard or seen anybody complaining yet, but I am more than happy to offer the neighbors some sausages in case they give us a grumpy look from the window.

So, back to bbq techniques. In order to get some really tasty potatoes, do the following: wrap some potatoes in foil and stick them within the burning coal, and then add some sausages on the grill. In about 20 min, take the potatoes out, unwrap them and make a cut on top of the potatoes.

Then squeeze the potatoes a bit and add some butter or cream cheese on top, sprinkle over with some parmesan. Place the potatoes back on the grill for a couple of minutes (just until the parmesan starts to melt) and then enjoy them with grilled sausages. Yum!

I only wish I had some strawberries to finish the meal. Those sweet and juicy strawberries I picked at my mum’s garden last week while I was in Estonia. Don’t they look gorgeous?
