breakfast & "merienda"

It is Saturday, finally. A little extra time to focus on the crucial energetic segments of the day. I wanted a simple breakfast, but a bit more colourful than usual. Strawberries, greek style yogurt, cereal (with no raisins, please!) and delicious Maya Sunny 100% raw stringy bark honey from Illford (NSW); we don't like the iron bark one as much.




A quite easy start followed by nothing else than exquisite passion fruit, and my machinery was ready to deal with another sunny morning in Syd City. Pure and simple.




Later on we decided to explore another bakery in town: Victoire, a suggestion from David Kakawa. There is a shop in Rozelle and another one in Cammaray. We bought a couple of different baguettes, an olive-rustic one and a levain (sourdough -no yeast-) one. I also couldn't resist trying their meringue-lemon tart, why not?




Well, the adventure was totally worth it. Once we got back home a warm cup of tea, Mariage Freres' Tropical blend, and a tonka-vanilla chocolate from Kakawa became the right "merienda". I guess this is the Spanish equivalent to the English afternoon tea with biscuits, but a bit less formal.
