Well, Derek leaves this week for New Orleans (Joni's sticking around to finish out some projects at work), so we had them around last night to say good-bye, which is impossibly hard so we just didn't mention it. I thought it would be fun to have a Scottish meal that wasn't Haggis, neeps & tatties. So, we had smoked mackerel pate (which I made from the smoked mackerel Bob & Lynne did - see earlier post) on oatcakes to start; roasted lamb (with garlic & rosemary), stuffed courgettes and fresh allotment potatoes for the main; and finished with apple crumble.
During the feasting, Bob came round to say he had caught another 9 (!!) mackerel and would we like some. So, the boys had a fun time gutting a couple of them.
