Dulce de Leche filled Tortas Fritas, of which I've just had 27.
We've been here at Granja Los Pinos for about a month, harvesting raspberries, tart cherries, playing with the dogs and kittens, and sheep, enjoying the company of a german couple and a pair of midwestern girls, sinking into the routine here. Forgetting to write blog posts . . .
Its very easy to do because someone is constantly baking brownies during siesta. Or their is fresh bread to make or jam to stir. Yes life is hard.
We work very strenuously--three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon.
Picking raspberries can be a zen-like meditation. It can also lead to thoughts like these:
Hmmm, this raspberry tastes like cotton candy, mmm this one tastes like ginger. Some of them taste like cereal and Gabrielle swears she had one that tasted like bacon.
or:
I've had a cold for five days now. Am I a weapon of biological warfare?
Or sometimes I'll peek under the overhanging eves of raspberry branches and see a hoard of fat ripe ones, like plump purple bats, tired of fruitlty servitude, ready to swoop down from their leafy caves and take revenge!
Ok, ok, here are some more pictures.
