View from Domaine de la Noblaie in Ligré looking north eastwards across the valley of the Vienne the light green patches in the middle distance are the vineyards of Cravant-les-Coteaux and Panzoult with the band of forest above providing protection from north winds
Noblaie: close up of some grapes: 10th June 2011 showing how far advanced they were then – sometimes the flowering hasn't yet started by that date. Some of the advance was then lost in July and August

The suckling pig's head looks very attractive to me ....
ReplyDeleteLuc. It was very good. I like the photo as it strikes me as somehow suitably manic...
ReplyDeleteYes manic indeed.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I’ve been told this was actually a “leaf-day”, known to enhance the animal side of all Demeter sympathizers. By the way, I didn’t know these people were adepts of cannibalism.
On the other hand, true believers will always use Preparation 501 to cook gravy. Here’s the full recipe: bury quartz powder mixed with meat juice in cow horns at the very bottom of your stinky dust-bin for three hours, four hours if Venus is not coaxial with Saturn. Then, dig the horn up, add some cocaïne or methamphetamine, and stirr the content in water, to be sprayed over your dish at breakfast. The horn may be re-used as a penile-sheath (various sizes available).
