...and a tad sleepy.
But I'll leave you with memories of particularly delicious weekend involving a late afternoon stop at Abra�o with Robyn and Raphael. We shared glasses of piccolo milch, almond milk, and a trio of sweets.
My favourite glass of almond milk in the city...or that I've tried so far. Pure, simple and just the barest touch sweet.
Rose Water Pain Perdu with Sweet Ricotta. Robyn and Raphael both didn't like it very much, but I enjoyed most of all three desserts. Go figure. I must start eating more ricotta - there's a whole nother world I'm missing out on!
Cardamom-orange bundt cake. I love Abra�o for the unconventional treats, sweets that are never too sweet and always promise the inclusion of a herb or flower-y twist. I missed out on the sesame bundt cakes, and an olive oil loaf, but that's only cause we just paused here on our way to dinner and wanted to ensure plenty of tummy space!
Lavender salt butter cookie. They also had cured olive cookies but were sold out by the time we arrived. Nonetheless, the lavender salt cookie was delicious, crisp all the way though with a generous hand of butter and a light lingering twist of lavender.
