Cider at the Chateau

Cidre Fermier in a most idyllic setting. The picnic tables have been put out on the grand staircase and so we are enjoying late afternoon lunch of mixed saucisses, purple potatoes (masquerading as object d'art) and spicy moutardez. Cannele, nougat, madeleines, chocolate caramels and marshmallows will join the financiers (the little cakes shaped like gold bars, not us) for tea.

Don't run ANY of these blogposts through spell check. Between being in a foreign language where at least one third of the letters are not pronounced and having to type on an iphone, mischief abounds.
