What did you cook, eat or drink today (October 2018)?

[Yorky]

They looks a bit sweet toothed for you @Yorky. They are rather pretty.

The only "sweet" part was the glacé cherries which was not overpowering. Anyway, I only ate one. They were made by kids at a local school.

Two portions of my friend Lucy's goats' cheese. It's young, fresh, soft and has a pleasant lemony taste.

Romantic?

Romantic?

Smear it all over yourself? No, sorry..that's kinky..I could never get those terms right..

That's an interesting combo for shortbread. I'm not keen on shortbread either - I find them too buttery which is, I suppose, the point!

They weren't buttery just crumbly. Very tasty though.

I have mine turned off. Ever since my 2017 "What I want for Christmas" letter went to Satan.

Darn Google speak. I said a French dip sandwich with au jus on the side. Google typed an old shoe on the side.

Two exquisite examples of top class French patisserie that I picked up yesterday :

Millefeuille (the lower of the two) - a delightful creamy custard separated by wafer-thin pieces of pastry and topped with a glaze (I'm still not sure what the glaze is and I'm trying to find out)

Fraisier (the upper image) - I've not tried this yet but it looks gorgeous (full of strawberry) and it feels quite heavy. I'd planned to sample this later today in front of the fire with a pot of herbal tea and the latest Kate Atkinson novel ... but as the temperature has just soared back into the 20s, I'll have to rethink my ideas. Perhaps outside in the shade with a cool drink ….
