16 August - being cooked for

Tuesdays are my busiest teaching day, so last night I made up a packed lunch; saffron rice salad with dill and broad beans. I was intending to have it with a splodge of yoghurt, but then discovered this morning there was none left in the fridge. I'd feared it might be a bit dry, but was actually spot on for a quick lunch break.

Tris was cooking this evening, quite nice to just sit down and have my dinner put in front of me for a change - salmon wrapped in proscuitto with spinach and lentils - a Jamie Oliver recipe and tasty as always.

7 June - salmon and lentils

Right now I'm sitting in a Cafe Opera in Bergen, killing time after getting off the train from Oslo and waiting for the pick-up for the next part of my trip. I've got four hours to wait, so I was quite pleased to find a cool little, studenty sort of cafe with free wi-fi and good food. I just had baked salmon with stewed lentils and a creamy garlic sauce - hearty, tasty and just what I needed after seven and a half hours on a train on a rather grey, murky evening in Bergen.
