This Must Be The Place: Ware else

The 4 hour train trip took us to Ware England, where we visited our good friends Matt and Anna. What a great weekend it was. We enjoyed good food, good talks, good walks, good Quinn time, and did I mention good food? We first met Matt and Anna in San Francisco where John and Matt worked together. Anna trained to become a cook while living in S.F. and we shared many delicious meals together. They have moved back to England and lucky for us, we get to see them every few months. When they moved back from the States, they spent last year driving all over Europe into Africa tasting their way through many different countries and writing about their different experiences. They created a blog of their travels which also includes many yummy recipes I recommend checking out (http://www.culinaryanthropologist.org/about.html).
Quinn was a ball of fun this weekend too. He shared lots of smiles, giggles, and cuddles with Matt and Anna. Quinn also ate from a metal fork for the first time this weekend and had a few beans from our full English breakfast.
SO during this visit just a few of the delicious things we had were...homemade preserved rhubarb on soft cheese crostini, homemade rosemary topenade, lamb ragu (with homemade chicken stock, and passata), quince tarte tatin, I could keep going....John asked Anna to teach him how to make a pastry base for a pumpkin pie. While they did that, Matt and I pierced the skin of some sloes we picked on a walk along the river and made some sloe gin. This digestif will be ready for first sip come Christmas.
If your mouth isn't watering yet, then its time to see some photos!
