our meringued epiphany

This weekend we visited aunt Eleanor, who last Wednesday got a brand new computer. One of those made in China, but designed in California. This time we even got to see a red cardinal in her backyard.



She cooked for us a great dinner concluding with a fabulous meringue desert, she also made herself. Yesterday she gave us two generous boxes of them, and this morning they logically became part of my breakfast. 



Together with a nice cup of Australia's T2 Blue Mountain tea and a cold drip made with Proud Mary's Guatemala beans, which we brought in our last trip to the exuberant Victorian lands.



Two remarkable local ingredients: Voisin's maple butter, coming from a place called Formosa, not in the Caribbean. And peaches from the Niagara region, which added to this extraordinary symphony of flavours. We luckily  got a nice allocation of them.




It's been snowing all day; Canadian winters are not a joke. The three wise men would have never made it here on their camels, what probably was a good thing for the natives.
