So on and off we have been trying out various baking and pudding dishes. The snaps on the left centre on the first effort of Chocolate and Strawberry Fairy cakes. But you can also glimpse in the fidge the making of fig and cassis triffles and Gin & Lime Truffles. The former were a great success, the latter less so. Also concocted was blackberry ice cream cake which was a storming success, especially when we sat outside in the evening with the thermometer not dropping below 30c.
The other big success where the meringues that SOR did, and that turned to be perfect to go with the leftover strawberries and whipped cream. Hidden in the collage is a snap of the grape crop on the vines we planted at Easter, teo of the three we planted survived and we have a small crop of small, bitter grapes. I think they need more water and more sunshine and that probably adds up to them being planted in the wrong place. Ho hum.
