Eight of us visited the snowy South during June for the South Island Masters Rowing Champs. Superb! I love the south: it has those huge vistas with clear skies and no people (except us ...). Very hard to get views like this in the North Island.
We rented a nice little house with a wood burning stove - essential! and after a visit to the cheese maker in Geraldine we had nibbles for the first evening.
Capsicum, apple, pear and fig chutney from Hororata, cheese from Geraldine, hummus from the local Four Square. Note the gorgeous star-shaped dish.... Fill with Pomegranate molasses and olive oil for the most sensational flavour burst you've had in a long time.
Stew cooked a fish and shrimp laksa - wonderful on a foggy night with good company.
Trish and I improvised with a cake mix (of all things) and made a self-saucing pudding for after
