Last night I made chicken coconut curry and, in super housewife mode, I made panacotta from the leftover coconut cream.

| panacotta, not a fried egg |
The weather has cooled slightly today so we had lunch on the terrace and I served the panacotta with cherries in syrup (my wonky cherry jam!) and fresh raspberries from the garden. The press must have heard about this wonderful dessert because the paparazzi suddenly arrived by helicopter overhead and started taking photographs!
Okay, they weren’t paparazzi, just the French power company checking the electric wires. They do it in style over here!
I thought they were those people who take pix of your house, then try to flog them to you for a fortune. How do they check the wires from the sky?
ReplyDeleteThey hover, do a circuit around the transformer, and then shoot off along the wires. They do it every year. We've had tourist helicopters too in the past.
DeleteWe have the military flying over every time we're in the pool.
ReplyDeleteWe get some very low flying military jets occasionally. I'm sure they'll take our tower off one day.
DeleteThe same here,without the tower.
ReplyDeleteThat must be terrifying Yael.
DeleteThis made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping it was the Milk Tray man.
DeleteI have just looked up panacotta, as I was not sure what that was. Now I know. It makes for a pretty dessert with the berries! We are in the "flight path" for a small local airport, so we often have small, private planes fly over our property. Sometimes it is a friend of ours who has a plane. I wave, even though I know he likely can't see me. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteI always wave at the helicopters.
DeleteNational Grid inspect the gas pipe line across the UK by helicopter. It goes right through Norfolk to the Bacton Gas Plant where gas comes in from the North Sea. Military planes and helicopters also practice combat overhead. France can't tell me anything.
ReplyDeleteI guess Lincolnshire gets a few jets.
DeleteScampton is closing so you won't get free Red Arrows shows.
DeleteThe next ones over will be those Zeppelins, they are on their way.
ReplyDeleteForget the pudding I offered, I really want that panacotta, raspberries and a good dab of cherry jam. We could do a swap.
We get the occasional hot air balloon too!
DeleteRegarding that helicopter, were you and Paul fully-clothed at the time?
ReplyDeleteWe always dress for meals.
DeleteI knew you wave at passing trains, now at flying helicopters as well :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Haha, this is true Maria!
DeleteWe have a very small radio controlled toy helicopter that is gathering dust. I rather thought that you were doing 'clever' photos. with similar and the poached egg and jam.
ReplyDeleteThe strange thing when photographing airborne helicopters is the blades don't appear to be moving. It was real though.
