Week’s menu for November: number 1

 “Autumn’s end in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland is electrified with colour and charged by war in heavens, although occasional snow may dance across the high peaks before Halloween. Glacial airs from the arctic begin to do battle with warmer Atlantic ‘westerlies’, bring storm-force winds and flood rains. They skirmish for position and influence like gladiators in a battleground stretching from the westernmost edges of the Outer Hebrides to the eastern flanks of the Torridon mountains”

Annie Worsley, quoted in Winter, Edited by Melissa Harrison

November and the first frosts

“The sight of a bare wintry landscape is almost as lovely as autumn. It is delightful to see fallen autumn leaves scattered among the plants by the water’s edge, or vapour rising from the garden stream on a morning white with frost.”

Kenkō, A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees (written circa 1330)

Week’s menu for November: number 3

“When polar air sweeps down from the high north the world turns blue, a glacial clarity descends and, seizing the world for itself, encases everything in glittering crystal. Showers then are ice and hail, shards of stinging wickedness coating the ground in rhinestones and silver. A billion jewels are lit up by the pale sun, reflecting the bands of lemon and cream across the fields.”

Bonfire night…serve sausages and hot ham and cheese puff pastries…

“Before the change it’s all about crisp blue skies with a chill at the edge, the leaves turning and sweaters coming out of the wardrobe. After, it’s mud, rain, bare branches and those recently beautiful golds and yellows and browns clogging the drains and flying in your face. In short, Autumn Part One is a time to be outside. Part Two is the bit where you rediscover the joys of open fires, home baking and soup.”
