If you can't make it to France this summer, dream & live a little in the moment using the best cherries of the season. <br /> <br />I just had to make this recipe. You see, I had all intentions on travelling to Paris this summer. <br /> <br />Dreaming for months, flights were analyzed, cooking courses were bookmarked and a safe place well located next to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur were ready to go. Or so I thought. I was certain that I could stay as a guest in the convent attached to the most brilliant church perched above Montmarte with lovely company and 24 hour access to Eucharistic Adoration (AND me in a giant empty church!). The Catholic girl’s version of From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenwieler was SO within my reach. <br /> <br />But as fate would have it, the nuns (no longer) take guests more than a day. <br /> <br />My heart was so very set on this part of the trip that it no longer seemed worth the effort. Or maybe God just had other plans. Either way, I am home enjoying a quiet summer crafting recipes reminiscent of the French countryside. <br /> <br />Come sit down with me and have a cafe au lait and a slice of clafoutis and let us dream together...
