BACK TO SCHOOL...summer pudding # 1
 Summer hols are nearly over, archived for another year. Time to bite down, reorganise our relaxed and tanned selves into action for the forthcoming "rentrée" /school year start. I pretend to feel motivated, rejuvenated, ready to run head on into the new school year... This morning my husband set the alarm for seven-ish - a practice run for next week when reality kicks in on a daily basis. My alarm went off and I moved my feet...there are still grains of sand in the bottom of our bed. I went back to sleep. My mother-in-law told me that as a child she worked further into July and returned to her school-desk late September. That makes such good sense! Is it me going hormonal or is there a heat wave in Bordeaux right now. I had 37° in my garden this weekend. Wondering how my dreamy children will do "concentration" next week in this heat...wondering how their mother will motivate her own students?? Yes, I am primed for that sea of what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here faces, mine will be reciprocating! Yesterday we had Sunday lunch with friends. Husband fired up the barbeque (and all the meat!!) in true Neanderthal fashion. Love the way my husband, and probably yours too, becomes delightfully "prehistoric" around the bbq...it becomes his territory, his x-zone, he smokes out the neighbours yoddling don't come near me I'm in charge...do I smell bison ? I made pudding, plural!! Nothing like summer puds to clear the head, enlighten the soul and bring on that last summer siesta... Here's summer pud #1, easy, light, cheap, quick, delicious...  Minted Peach Soup 6 ripe, but firm, peaches, yellow or white (personally prefer the white, they are more perfumed) 1 cup blackcurrant/groseille jelly 2 cups boiling water Handful of chopped fresh mint Put jelly and water into a pot on a low flame. Stir until the jelly has melted. You should have homogeneous syrup. Do not boil. Chop peaches into 8 regular wedges. Place in large bowl and pour over the redcurrant/groseille syrup. Sprinkle mint over mixture. Cover and reserve in refrigerator for minimum 3 hours before serving. Serve with a crisp Rosé... Become a follower of Desperate Anglo Housewives NOW!!
