Holiday Fare
Anyway, whilst we were away we sampled some lovely local produce and also made some pretty tasty camping food, even if I do say so myself.
So here's a rundown of some of the highlights - with lots of photos and not too many words:
 |
| Freshly baked cinnamon and raisin bread at the Ythan Valley Campsite |
 |
| Delivered to your tent door at 8am in a picnic basket! |
 |
| Tuna and sweetcorn stovies made with potatoes baked in the BBQ embers |
 |
| AMAZING Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Gianduja by Cocoa Mountain in Durness |
 |
| Good old fish and chips |
 |
| Sausage sizzle on the beach |
 |
| Including Sweet Chili and Irn Bru sausages from the Castletown Butchers - awesome! |
 |
| Pear and chocolate brownies - first time I've baked in a Youth Hostel! |
 |
| In the very picturesque Tongue SYHA kitchen. |
 |
| Beef Bourguignon made in Tongue SYHA, then 'casseroled' in a food flask |
 |
| And enjoyed watching the rain in the car at Scourie! |
 |
| Apricot bread from the Ullapool Bakery on the shores of Little Loch Broom |
 |
| It was perfect - sweet and fluffy with whole dried apricots in it. Mmmm |
 |
| Giant couscous with pan fried chili salmon and sugarsnap peas |
 |
| Haggis and tomato omlette |
 |
| Best served with a tin mug full of white wine! |
 |
| A tasty end to a wet and soggy day - burgers at The Colonsay Hotel |
 |
| Porridge with syrup - not a drop was spilled! |
 |
| And finally getting ready to cook... |
 |
| Chocolate Brownie Pancakes - a successful, if not very photogenic, invention! |
