Carol's Kitchen ~ Sunny Side Up!

It may be minus 8 degrees outside but it's toasty and sunny in Carol's kitchen!   She emailed and asked if I'd like to go by, adding that something was soon coming out of the oven.  Well, when it comes to an invitation to savor something wonderful baked with love from her country French kitchen, she doesn't have to ask twice...I'm there, no matter what the temp outside is.

She brewed a pot of her delicious 'Mariage Fereres' French  tea and served it in a generous ironstone mug along with a 'Sunny Side Up' ~  made from scratch puff pastry with poached apricots, pastry cream (yum) and a delicious glaze; a Julia Child recipe.   So pretty, so tasty!

There were three more on this 'cool' vintage cooling rack but let's just say that the three of us really enjoyed our mid-day 'tea'.  (her hubby joined us)

And..if that wasn't enough...she sent me on my merry way with a beautifully wrapped box (yes girlies, those are her initials) with strict instructions that "they must be eaten before the day is done" and a warning that "they will not be good tomorrow!"

As French music played I felt as though I was whisked away to a little bistro in Paris!

Delicieux!

 "I hope you ate yours tonight too Carol!" 

Thanks a bunch Dearie!
