Patisserie perambulations

Until today I didn't know there was a pastry called Koenig Amman, which sounds like the German for "The King of Amman", which I suppose refers to King Abdullah II of Jordan (who of course is half English).

The said pastry was purchased in a Vietnamese bakery in NZ.

Not French, or even Jordanian; Vietnamese.

Heck, who cares, it was FABULOUS. Sort of a multi-dimensional Danish pastry (oh help, another nation!), filled with custard and fruit.

Eh voila

And following leaves of pastry with cherry tree leaves (don't you love BBC links), here is a photo of our driveway. I love leaves and trees and colour, and we have them in abundance at the moment.

Happy Monday.
