Hello!
This week, we’re having an autumn break and I’m greeting you from our holiday cottage. Well, it’s our own home, actually. But we’re acting as if, saying things to each other like, ‘It’s a lovely holiday cottage, isn’t it?’ ‘Yes, it is. Not as tidy as I would have liked it, but it’s reasonably clean and the bed is very comfortable.’
Other holidays usually involve a Konditorei or a Patisserie, but as we’re staying home and don’t have any of those around, I also play acted at being a pâtissier and baked an apple and blueberry crumble pie on our first day off.
I’m sending you a virtual slice. Can you smell that sweet, warm, comforting apple and cinnamon aroma?
?
Thank you for your company!
Enjoyed every minute of it – especially that bit of Frisian advice. Thanks!
I don’t know what the writer of the piece of advice had in mind, but I can think of all kinds of things right now it could apply to.
Exactly. That’s why I’m so glad you posted it.
Thank you!
I’m glad you’re here. It feels good to be connected to people all over the world in this way.
This was just what I needed today! Thank you! Will you share your recipe? The illustrations on the graphic novel/comic book remind me on TinTin.
TinTin is called Kuifje here – there are several of his comics on our book shelves too. This comic is one in a looooong series about Belgian brother and sister Suske and Wiske. I’ll try to remember writing down what I do next time I bake this pie and share it with you.
Thank you for a lovely time. So relaxing and I could almost feel and smell the fresh air in the country. Also longing for a slice of your delicious looking pie. Maybe a recipe included in another post?
So enjoy your weekly blogs.
Thank you
Hi Tory. Thank you for your company here, and your lovely comment. You’re the second person asking for the recipe. It’s a good idea for another blog post – I’ll keep it in mind!
