Plum Torte. I have everything needed to bake this...a pastry reminding me of my grandmother. She had plum trees planted especially for baking Plum Cake and Plum Dumplings.
Yesterday's outing with the Twins and their parents was a Total Delight. We ate by the water. I ordered the mussels and got a gigantic bowl of them... I got French Fries on the side. Very Parisian. A short walk looking at the gorgeous annuals planted in gardens along the street....obviously that Town has a better selection in the Spring. Way way better. And then, if the day hadn't been wonderful enough.....a bookstore. I had forgotten just how lovely the towns on the River are- the old houses from the 1700's or earlier- one of the painted chimneys for the Underground Railway on a huge old house. Next land to the east is Europe. Sea Captains lived in that Town.
One of the twins ordered the Oysters. A half dozen. I worried he would choke when swallowing them. They were very large and plump. I watched to make sure he was okay with each one.
Yes, Living The Good Life. The bookstore was followed by Round Top Ice Cream. Strawberry Cheesecake (full fat) for me.....no intolerance by my digestive system. A Fantastic Day All Around.
I will reheat and crisp the French Fries for lunch today. I will be thinking about that full fat ice cream for a few days. Giffords. Perhaps the grocery has a few varieties?????? but I will continue to buy Lactate free milk for my cereal.....cause I really like it. I am watching Premier League Soccer. Tottingham v Arsenal. The fans are singing When the Saints Come Marching In. zero to zero. I love the singing. Someone scored while I was typing.
Today would have been my Wedding Anniversary- I guess it still is--- but we stopped celebrating (or remembering) the day long long ago. I don't even want to do the math to find out how many years. and yes, I might be admitting to being depressed. About what I have to look forward to....right now I can't think further than the re-crisped French Fries.
