I am feeling re-energized,
happy and excited about food, baking and blogging. I have returned to the
lovely country I call home equipped with new insights and adventures from
overseas. I have over-indulged and satiated my hunger on Greek, French, Swiss and
Italian food. I should be sick at the mere thought of gelato or ice-cream
having eaten it once ( sometimes twice ) a day for a whole month. But...I am
not. Shamefully, I could eat a whole tub of Baskin Robins ice-cream without my
stomach making the slightest protest.
Alas, holidays are over, I
am back to work, and I have not consumed any ice-cream since setting foot on
Australian soil. I want to share with you some of the delicious food I managed
to remember to photograph before stuffing it in my mouth.
France
The country of romance, and
the setting in which I got engaged!!! I loved Paris to bits and also
explored the enchanting Loire Valley chateau's on a trusty push bike. The bread
and pastry in France is THE BEST, and I will forever now be disappointed with
other offerings. The French are not rude (in my experience). Greet them in
their own language (it's not hard) and they will help you with whatever you
need.
