Gifts from afar
November 14th, 2010
One of my best friend’s has moved her small family to the Brittany region of France. They are restoring an old manor home. As soon as she sets up a blog with their adventures, I’ll post it here (it’s actually quite an interesting project they are taking on).
As much as I miss her company at Starbucks, I have to say I do love the packages she sends back with people who visit her from here. The latest is this lovely bundle:
That’s a ball of mohair from a farm near her and it’s in my favourite colour. I’m trying to figure out what to make it into.
Then, the packages are “flan” or pudding. They are in rather interesting flavours. I’ve yet to try them, but once I do, she may have opened up a permanent request. The bottom two, raspberry and caramel are easy enough to make here. However, the top three are rose, bergamot (!) and lavender. I can’t wait to eat them! Yum. (I’m selfishly hoping the kids wont like them….)
Enjoying the journey, Amanda
