In the moment
Last Friday we went to Manchester where we met 29 years ago as students. The Castfield bowl was a chocolate box of Shed seven fans, a few hard centres , a few nuts but mostly soft and sweet! It was a magical night , the music , the soundtrack to my life in York was evocative of good times. This amazing weather we are enjoying, certainly not synonymous with all those rainy afternoons misbehaving in Manchester , added to the happiness. Everyone seemed optimistic, keen for the gig to be the best yet. It was like a home win at Bootham crescent with 8000 friends singing "chasing rainbows " in unison. On one side was a lovely young man who knew all the lyrics even though he couldn't have been alive when Shed Seven were top of the pops! He filmed most of the concert on his phone and seemed to love experiencing it second hand, excited to share his memories later and save them perhaps for a rainy day to come. On the other side was an older man who was dragging on a cigarette as though it was the elixir of life. He looked very frail and as though in the end stage of some terrible disease. When people pushed past him he simply smiled and let them stand in front of him, a lad asked if he could buy a cigarette from him, he simply gave him one without a care. He didn't film the show or take any selfies , he was in the moment. I was mesmerised by his peacefulness and drawn into enjoying the moment more intensely following his example. Be kind, enjoy yourself, live in the real moment.
Today is all we have, happy Friday everyone.
These little frittatas kept us going on our drive home.
Cauliflower frittatas ( Shed 7 love buns!)
Ingredients
2 red onions sliced
1 small cauliflower
15 eggs
1 pot double cream
2tbs curry powder
1 bunch coriander
Grated Parmesan 6tbs
Method
Fry the onions in a little olive oil or 1 tbs of butter until soft. Put a spoonful in the bottom of x12 deep muffin tray.
In another pan fry the cauliflower florets in a little oil and the curry powder until soft then distribute it into the muffin trays. Break the eggs and mix together with a large pot of double cream. Pour evenly into the muffin tray, sprinkle with chopped coriander and top each one with grated Parmesan. Cook for 20 minutes at 200 *c until they firm up and look like buns!
