And only two pictures. I'm busy today — the dog to walk,
and then errands to run this morning in Noyers, St-Romain,
and Contres — so not much time for the blog.

Blackberry thorns — if you are not careful
Bumblebees and thistles — see aboveToday's the 13th. It's a good day to be careful.

ReplyDeleteyour blackberry branch made me think of blackberry and rose geranium jam.
here's what i could find -- in thanks for the beautiful pic.
Blackberries in Rose Geranium-Red Wine Syrup
1 c red wine
½ c sugar, plus more for sprinkling
4 rose geranium leaves
3 c blackberries
Cook the wine and the sugar together in a small saucepan until reduced by half. Pour the hot syrup over the geranium leaves and cool. Sprinkle the blackberries with a little sugar and let sit for a few minutes until they release their juices. Pour the syrup over the berries and serve immediately.
Serves 6.

p.j. Some good quality vanilla ice cream would be a fine base for this berry and syrup recipe. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeauty can sting as the photos prove...
ReplyDeleteI read your interesting post:"Aimez-vous les carottes?" (Feb.18,07) What a tempting meal. I seldom get a full chicken breast. It's always sold cut in half. The turkey breast is sold full. Maybe I should go to a butcher shop. I've been trying to find a stuffing recipe on your blog. I still haven't seen everything yet.
I searched for stuffing on my blog. Being a U.S. Southerner, I really like cornbread "dressing," as we call it. There's a picture on this blog page but I'm not sure I give the recipe.
