Summer's starting

Friends to lunch in the garden and we ate grilled sweet onions with romesco sauce (almonds, red pepper, garlic, olive oil ....), followed by chicken pieces marinated in paprika, cumin, garlic and olive oil (garlic and olive oil appear in most of our dishes), then chicken cooked on these Turkish skewers which have been in my family since I was a child. The first really hot summer's day of the year, 32 degrees C, and we were glad of the shade at the garden.

A few glasses of local wine too, so I'm ready for a siesta now!
