A large chicken and boiled egg salad, Radishes, Lettuce and Potatoes (as potato salad), were all fresh from the garden. (Also with it, pickled onions and cucumber)
Yum..
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

And how did the lemon geranium ice cream taste?

Lunchtime, some salad leaves and shallots. This evening some 'Vales Emerald' new potatoes (only small but lovely flavour) and the first picking of peas (well, the first main picking as I've been eating the odd pod or two straight from the plant for the past week or so).
