Musavale's Winter Newsletter 2011

We were moving gently into winter after a not too brilliant summer, as far as weather went. Suddenly some cold nights appeared out of nowhere, but fortunately we were well prepared. A large supply of logs are sitting in the shed ready for those cooler winter evenings and the cellar is full of wine and beer.

It might not be good weather for sitting by the pool, but it is perfect to lounge by the fire and enjoy a couple of aperitifs in preparation for one of Chris’s delightful Mediterranean dinners, washed down with local wines and finished off with digestifs from the region.

How about a taste of Spain with Bunyols de Bacallá, Cordonices en Hojas de Parra followed by Crema Catalana?

Or maybe a bouquet of France with Gratin de Crabe au Pamplemousse Rose, Gigot d’Agneau Rôti aux Parfumes d’Herbes and Tarte Fines aux Pommes?

Not forgetting our Italian friends: Orecchiette con Cavalo Nero, Arosto di Vitello rounded off with Spazzacomino!

So don’t spend those dull winter week-ends at home, bring your partner out to Musavale Lodge and indulge yourselves in a little pampering.

Also those of you with pooches; they are very welcome to join you for a week-end in the country with our Jack Russell, Snoopy and enjoy some new smells!
