We are really experiencing an Indian summer. Greatly talked about in pubs and papers during August and early September it has come with fantastic results this weekend (well, Sunday at least, Saturday was somewhat drab) but here we are on Monday and it remains beautiful. So, that being the case, did you all group around the charcoal grills?
We did. Well, we had to really as our kitchen is being rebuilt and the lads are working at full pace to get it done, but it's a big undertaking and they are into the 2nd week. They could be completing tomorrow, possibly, but in the meantime we got through the weekend continuing to make do in the dining room. Our parameters for existing on processed meals was reached by Friday so on Sunday, we took out the Weber gas grills and we had some authentic tuck.
It was a pretty fine meal as well, quite brave to cook over either gas or charcoal grills, I made grilled lemon sole with a champagne sauce and sauteed spuds. The sauce is happily simple but delicious, firstly you melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan then whisk in 3 tablespoons of plain flour. After it has turned into a heavy paste, introduce chicken stock, approximately three cups worth and increase it to the boil, at which point, turn down the heat and put in around three cups of champers (cheap bubbly in our case but never mind) and return to the boil and leave it to simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Finally, drizzle in around 3 cups of double cream, bring back to the boil, whisk thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Change amounts as needed, remember to sample as you go and you should be left with a thick sauce ready for drizzling over the fish. It is wonderful. And, truly, it's not that easy to make on a Weber bbq or any sort of barbie to be honest whether gas or charcoal grills. What I had to do was to push it about over the heat or remove it completely and try to find the best temperature.
Quite aside from the convenience of the climate permitting us an opening to make some proper food with the kitchen unserviceable, having a last chance use the Weber bbq is a real treat to get one last taste of summer before we disappear into the depths of Autumn and start the countdown to the festival season of the clocks turning back, Halloween, bonfire night, Remembrance Sunday and then the build in to Christmas and the New Year. These are not really suited to using a Weber gas grills unless we have an extended hot autumn which could be positively dangerous.
Myself I'm certainly convinced that we will be expecting another very cold winter. I seem to be the one person in the globe to spot that climate patterns tend to be for a double year cycle. If you think of the best summers, they seem to come in two's and so having had a retro winter with all the snow and ice this year that we used to get in the days of my boyhood, I'm pretty willing to stake some of your cash that another won't be far behind. But since I work at home, I shall worry not a bit. Enjoy!
