Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.
During our holidays in Cardiff, we discovered Coffee #1, a chain that we had never seen anywhere else, but it seems to be everywhere in Cardiff. I am generally rather cynical and unimpressed about coffee chains,but this one really was one of the best discovery made recently. It serves a lot of delicious food and drinks, their cafés are full of character and the staff is among the nicest I have seen in a very long time. So as usual when I get enthusiastic about a place, I went there as often as I could. We had one breakfast there, where Wolfie enjoyed a plain porridge and I had this porridge with blueberries, seed and maple syrup. This kind of porridge was made for me, being a Quebecker it made sense that I had some with maple syrup, as for blueberries, it is the emblematic fruit of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region where I am from. So eating it felt like home. even though I think the plain Wolfie had was maybe the best because of its simplicity.
This has been part of my breakfast since I came to my parents' house: an oatmeal muffin, as much a treat as a healthy muffin (because it has oatmeal in it). This is how you must eat an oatmlea muffin: hot, open in half, with a lot of butter on it for good measure. As you can tell, I am a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to oatmeal muffins. I often blogged about them in French, I even published the recipe once. It is an old family recipe. As early as I can remember, my family baked them and for years these were the only true muffins I thought existed. The others were cakes in disguise. One day, I might publish the recipe in English, so you can enjoy them too.
