The Big Orange CheeseMimolette, illuminated
by the waning afternoon sun
Boule de LilleMimolette from France
The annatto coloured cheese
was first produced in the Lille area
in the 17th century, when King Louis XIV
decreed that France should aim to produce
the best of everything -
and succeed they did, didn't they?
Grappa BluesA ballad for those who think
a grape after giving wine
is finished
Heavenly Lighton earthy delights
A Side Trip to Italyunder Austrian evening sun
Women and Wineand art all around
The Pig that flewoff the plates!
Unlike the poor birds picking at Zeuxis's painted grapes,
those sticking their forks into slices of this cake
would not be disappointed:
Under the almond paste trompe-l'œil pig,
masquerading as a simple sheet cake,
awaited the most sophisticated chocolate Torte ever:

You have me licking my lips.

DeleteSo many delectable treasures! Looks like a memorable evening! Your beautiful pictures make me wish I was there sampling all that deliciousness! Have a great weekend, Merisi! xx
ReplyDeleteKaren,
DeleteI fervently wished I was back there right now! It was a magical afternoon.
Marissa , you need to write a book , with all the wonderful photos in too.. magical!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeleteHere you are showing us delightful photos of delicious cheese and wine, and what do I notice the most? That belt buckle! I've not seen such a belt buckle before...guess I don't frequent the classier place!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe that I was so focused on catching the light on the plate that I did not notice but a big buckle? ;-)
DeleteI am off to bed and I'll be dreaming about cheese, wine, chocolate cake and flying pigs. If I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, I'll blame you, Merisi ;-).
ReplyDeleteZosia, I hope you had sweet dreams! ;-)
