An observation about full fat milk
A couple of days ago, we made a food order. We rarely o to the shops anymore for groceries, except for quick top ups. My wife buys stuff online, it gets delivered to us, that's it. And we started doing it way before the pandemic. We just did it more often once the pandemic happened. Anyway, in the order, there was a substitute we did not notice: full fat milk instead of sem-skimmed milk. My wife only drinks semi-skimmed, but we kept it anyway, because I am okay to drink full fat milk. ButI hadn't done for a few years. So when I tried it again, it came as a shock. It really tastes of cream. So that was my observation. I drank full fat milk and really, it is like drinking cream, isn't it? Your thoughts in the comments.

Pouding au bleuets
Bon, c'est le temps des bleuets, alors donc, je partage encore une photo de bleuets. Vous m'en voyez désolé. Ou pas. Enfin bref avec les vrais de vrais bleuets sauvages du Lac, mes parents ont fait un pouding aux bleuets. Pas mon dessert ni mon pouding préféré, mais c'est quand même quelqu'un si tu le manges chaud avec de la crème dessus. Et avec des bleuets frais sur la crème, mais je crois que ça, c'était pour faire une belle photo.

Encore les fraises
J'ai blogué il y a peu sur les fraises, je récidive parce que c'est le temps des fraises qui commence. Mon père m'a envoyé cette photo, avec les informations suivantes sur le dessert: "Fraises du Québec crème de la laiterie La baie et sérip d'érable avec sucre d'érable." Dessert typiquement québécois, donc... Enfin bref, vous avez maintenant la recette, si vous voulez essayer.

Scones for VE Day
Today is VE Day, marking the end of World War II in Europe. Apparently, it is celebrated a lot here and from what I learned, one of the traditions is to have cream tea and eat scones. This is how we will celebrate anyway. We considered making the scones, but in the end we decided to be lazy: one of the local cafés that now delivers grocery shop has a special offer on cream tea: we have tea (four bags from Tea Pigs, a brand I quite like) and scones for two, including clotted cream and jam. So we ordered the cream tea and if everything goes well we should receive it this afternoon, just in time. Of course, it's tea for two and we are three, but I will have all the tea for myself, as my wife does not like tea and my son does not drink it yet. The scones, however, will have to be shared and they should go quickly.

Cream tea for brekafast
Anyway, I was looking at the pictures this morning and thought it would have made for a nice Sunday breakfast today.

Cream Tea
So in the café, they were offering Yorkshire tea with a home-made scone, with some jam (strawberry jam) and clotted cream. It fills you enough for a few hours and it is delicious. That said maybe one scone was not enough as I was still hungry after it. I think I would have had two. There were other offers, with much larger plates with either sandwiches or an array of cakes, but I did not want to fill myself until bedtime. I know it is an afternoon snack, but cream tea makes for a perfect breakfast. Anyway, this was my little venture in an old English tradition. I should do it more often.
