the trusty grinder!
The Daily Grind
Well, the day starts with a coffee. Merv has been buying beans here in Morocco, and we’ve been grinding them as we go to make sure we always have fresh coffee. We’ve been trying to buy all our food here and so far it’s been working out well. It’s nice to support the locals markets.
Getting the pancakes ready...
Griddle bread, made by Claire on the camp fire.
Breakfast is usually porridge with Banana or Rasins – Merv’s with honey on top. Sometimes fruit salad with yoghurt, and sometimes pancakes. The pancakes go down well with Merv, provided he gets to put chocolate sauce on them, and probably bananas as well. For me, I go with lemon juice and a little sugar.
Griddle bread is another nice option, but the bread here is so good we usually try to buy fresh each day. Many camp sites and areas have guys that cycle between the trucks selling bread and pastries each morning. Now that’s service!
Lunch is often bread and cheese, maybe some salami (Brought from France, Italy and Spain, and almost all gone!). Merv sometimes has PBJ – Peanut butter and Jam.
This morning in the sea, this evening on our plates
Roast beef, with all the trimmings
Dinner is varied. It sort of depends on the mood, and what we have in. We did roast beef once,and it turned out great. While the Moroccan meat looks fine, they dont create the same kinds of cuts of meat that we are used to but we have bought some mince to make Shepard’s pie, Chilli and pasta sauces (Credit goes to Lynda, who gave us a crash course in Italian cooking).
Pizza a la Mog
Everyone loves Pizza!
That’s some view from your kitchen window!! You guys are eating better than I do here at home
Wow food looks good.
What about the coffee dose it being local make a big difference to the taste?
Hhmm that wine you had with the roast beef looks a bit like engine oil! 😉
Hi Allie, that “engine oil” is the wine recommended by dj doc, and purchased at a petrol station. I am now hoping I didn’t pick up Italian engine oil by mistake, but I must admit it tastes pretty good!
my point exactly Merv.
Edwin, the coffee is bought from large sacks ready roasted but not ground. The quality varies, but it all seems pretty good, at least to Merv, but then he drinks anything! Once ground, he likes to use it within a week or so.
Allie, the engine oil is actually Italian wine as recommended by a certain brother in law……. Lol!
