Another five am start to our day. Dog and master saunter contentedly through the onion fields to the waterfall. Our arrival surprises a group of adolescent deer who aren't used to seeing humans - or dogs - up and about so early.
We consider a coffee and caramel creation but are put off by its 'solid' appearance.
The bakers wife does her best to get us to buy a strange heart shaped looking thing. It has caramelized apple in the filing. Caramelized apple does nothing for me at this time of the morning.

This morning choice comes down to a Black Forest Gateau or a Fraisier. We opt for a Fraisier. Sophie gets some surplus apple pie crust. How good is that ?

Ahhh! I haven't seen Babas au Rhum for many years! When we were fist married we had a Sabbatical in Oxford and they were the height of fashion then ... we're talking 1979 mind you! Just a month or two ago!! I must see if I can look out a recipe for them.

Crikey, those cakes look like they'd double as bathroom tiles... stick with the croissant, I say! YAM xx
The fraisier was probably a sound choice, although I'd be prepared to risk the coffee and caramel creation after a long bike ride.
Last night's menu looked appealing enough for me to google the restaurant location and wonder about calling in sometime when venturing into the Central Highlands.
I'm dubious about the use of maths in the wild animal evolution article. To say offspring are on average 18'5% 'better' than their parents is almost certainly (and wrongly) imply a precision that the data do not support!
Cheers, Gail.
I read with interest the main course with nettles salsa verde. My husband is an enthusiastic follower of a youtube channel featuring 18C cooking recipes and one of the recipes was nettle soup. I encourage nettles on our property because they are food for the admiral butterfly, however, I am not a great fan of them in my food. However, I did like the Normandie apple and pork (with cider) recipe.
Surplus apple pie crust - what a good way to start Sophie's day!
Having left the UK many years ago, I find so many of these menus totally pretentious, and the prices ridiculous. I blame all these TV cookery programmes!
Will read the article on wild animal evolution at my leisure.
Up so early, Sophie will need a long mid-morning nap
