Lemons From France [fullsize]
I am leaving sticky patches of butter on the keyboard as I type. Riana's Pain d'Epices is delicious toasted and smothered with some decent creamy-stuff. There is sweetness from honey, an exotic touch from cloves and anise mingling with cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Riana recommends this with cream cheese or jam. I settled on butter alone. I am going to have to make more, which I think was Riana's intent as in my EBBP package are the required spices and the recipe. Once baked the bread has to sit for three days before eating, not convinced I have such restraint.
Elsewhere in the parcel were half a dozen lemons, one stolen from her Grandmother's closely guarded tree, the others from a local market complete with basket. Delving deeper a pack of Tomates mi-séchées (semi-dried tomatoes) appears. These I adore. Using the remains of the Pugliese bread from Tuesday they are about to be placed on some bruschetta-type creation for tonight's meal. A pot of Herbes de Provence, a hand written card and a slab of Chocolat Noir Pâtissier completes the surprise. Superb! Many thanks Riana, a delight.

oh oh, well you know it's supposed to be good to suffer a bit, good for the character that is so those three days probably will work wonders with yours! Wonderful parcel!

So glad that you like it! Just a little taste of the south of France... I wanted to send you some Cassoulet, the gut-busting French stew! Maybe next time ;)

Cancreluen - I shall add your name to the list but keep an eye here for the announcement in case I forget.
Thanks Melissa. I don't recall making a Lemon Meringue pie before. I don't want these lemons to go to waste so I might just try it out!
