Alongside, they wanted something special on the table too for him. The decision of what was left to me because they were running out of time. I had buckwheat something on my mind ever since I had read of Buckwheat Pancakes on Marie’s blog @ Two Peas and Their Pod.Too hot to rustle up a cake, so I decided to inaugurate the Belgian waffle Iron my sis had presented me quite a while ago.

MINI PEACH, CHERRY & BLUEBERRY GALETTES with almonds -Little bites!
“Yield to temptation — it may not pass your way again” Lazarus Long Do you get hypnotized by certain posts. I’m afraid I’m afflicted by this strange phenomena, but I love it. And it kicks in whenever I see a post with galettes, the sweet ones, full of fruit. I find galettes to be very ‘free spirited’….…in the sense that they don’t need to conform to boundaries, something that is reflective of my inherent nature. I like my freedom, I like rustic & moreish appeal, so I like galettes. Inspiration continues to come from unexpected sources. Been twittering with Edna’s Cafe for really long, & so one fine day decided…

There can be nothing better than enjoying their superb flavour…it’s amazing how flooded the market is, but just until July, because this is the time when the fruit begins to ripen.

NATURE & TREKKING IN THE HILLS…the last Himalayan post!
“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains…” Diane Ackerman My third & last account of our trip into the hills. Since we stayed in a remote little heritage cottage, far removed from the hustle & bustle of urban life, much of our time was spent exploring the hills around. It was easy to set off in any direction, & we would find man made foot trodden paths winding along hillsides for miles to end.
