July 13 Simple food on the road!

Just to let you know that the chook (the Pinging Chook) is still operating but the recipes are pretty sparse. Restricted to a one burner stove (OR a small microwave when we have power - got to close the stove to operate the microwave ) and a tiny bar fridge our menu is ‘simple’. Tonight fish pie (from the supermarket) with beetroot and potatoes - with loads of good Scottish butter! Interesting combination but it works. The pix below were from Drumbeg where we were hoping for a good country pub meal but alas no, they were fully booked! What!!!! This is one very remote place population 60. Oh well back to our cliff top camp spot (no electricity- eeek!) for baked beans with mashed tatties and neeps with oodles of good Scottish cheeses. And wine - of course!! The sheep which in these parts wander freely, circled our van overnight and kept us warm.

And this is our backdrop tonight. Worth the simple fare I’d say. It is so quiet except for the sound of the mountain steam rushing over rocks 50 metres away. It’s awesome!
