One Of My Favourite Summer Things

 It's clafoutis season!  While I'm sure this sophisticated group has known about it forever,  I only discovered this French dessert about 5 years ago.  

It's meant to be made with sweet cherries but I find it can work with any stone fruit so it's my "go-to" all summer.  Cherries in June and early July and mixed peaches and blueberries in late July and August.  I've made it with apples in early autumn but that is really straying just a bit too far. I've read that the French call it flognarde when fruit other than cherries are used but I've never found a recipe for that.  

Oh, right!  This is a walking blog!  Well, there's pretty great news for TPW this past weekend.  Helen, our amazingly fit role model, finished the Niagara Ultra 50K (!!!) on Saturday. She started at 6 am!  And Diane, Phyllis, Martha and Philippa completed the Waterfront 10K upright and smiling.  We are so proud of all our walkers.
