Bricklaying

strawberries brick leaves
fromage blanc
and Chantilly cream

Mum wanted to revisit millefeuille as a dessert and she whipped up (haha!) this delicacy. Basically, you've got the recipe in the lune, except that you have to sprinkle brown sugar on your brick leaves and warm them up so that they become crisp. In a bowl whip up some fromage blanc (with just a little bit of sugar) and add strawberry cubes. Then in individual plates, lay down the foundation brick leaf, put a little of the strawberry/fromage blanc mix, and add raspberry in two opposite corners (they'll be the pillars holding the next brick leaf!). Repeat as many times as you like (or as many times as you think the millefeuille will hold in place!), and finish with a last spoonful of strawberry/fromage blanc mix, Chantilly cream and a whole strawberry to decorate. Julie and I helped: Julie by dicing the strawberries, I by positioning the raspberries so that the next brick leaf would hold in place!

An afternoon of watching tennis as the weather was not good enough for outdoors activity, notably Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's game against Thomas Berdych, than Gaël Monfils against Roger Federer. They're starting again this morning, after they've won a seat each last night. It'll be as if they're playing a "best of three sets" today... I'll say "let the best man win", but of course I hope it will be Monfils! Later in the day, I'll have a hard time choosing who to root for: Andy Murray who's one of my favourite players and Jeremy Chardy who'll clearly be the underdog (and is French...).
