Research is always important. Discovering new information, technology and design for any line of work is a must. With that said my work is never done... I hope. Last week my beloved and I went to the great isle of Britain and then scooted over to Paris to take in the sights but mostly to do "research".
After the mandatory tourist meal of fish and chips we set out to find culinary sugar art that would knock out our sweet-tooth. And we did. But first let me share with you the delight of eating lightly fried fish and potatoes along the Thames. September is a wonderful time of year to visit England. We were fortunate to be there during days with bright sunlight and cool breezes; just enough for a sweater. Walking towards the London Eye we passed an outdoor pub overlooking the River Thames. Ice cold ale with a beautiful British dish was the beginning of our food extravaganza.
Next stop, Buckingham Palace of course! Thinking there couldn't be a more quintessential experience while in London than fish 'n chips along the Thames we were royally surprised to find ourselves licking our lips over chocolate mousse torts and Bavarian cream puffs on the Queen's patio overlooking Buckingham's regal lawns. These very same lawns have hosted many garden parties over many centuries catered with exquisite tea and pastries. Even though we ate with plastic forks and drank from paper cups our visit was sterling silver.
More to come as we cross the English Channel...
With sweet delight,
Consuelo
