We are having a tricolore salad this evening - that's cherry tomatoes halved, sliced avocado and torn-up mozzarella drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with fresh basil and freshly-ground black pepper. Naturally, we'll be drinking Italian wine, as that salad contains the three colours of the Italian flag. I drink wine only on days of the week that contain the letter D. Tonight it's Negroamaro from Puglia. Salad days, halcyon days, dog days l, the Cornish heatwave continues and I ain't doin' nuffink tonight except for eating a cooling tricolore and drinking Mediterranean sunshine in a glass!
