Frittata in the Vineyard

Tweet

We have friends who own a vineyard in Donnybrook, Western Australia. The husband mostly works away, flying to Eastern European countries working as an engineer on oil fields. They have recently built a 'cellar door' and now, from Thursday to Sunday, offer light lunches, cakes and coffees along with wine-tasting and sales. Vince has his photo exhibition at this place. The wife happened to mention when talking in a group that it is all a bit more time-consuming than she had bargained on. She also said she'd love to go out for lunch occasionally but there was always something that needed doing. So we arranged to take lunch to her. Yesterday we made a frittata, sliced and arranged it in a bed of salad and took it to the vineyard. We sat outside at one of the tables and watched the sky go from mostly blue to mostly black and back to blue again. But it didn't rain on us. A Japanese horticultural student was there tip-pruning the vines and the four of us had a enjoyable lunch. Within the hour, we had gone leaving them to get on with their pruning. Guess what leftovers we're having for lunch today.
