Rocky road to roasts,pain au chocolat and petit dej...

It's bitingly cold.  And to make things worse, it's getting darker and there is only one solution to wintery blues, well in my book there is only one logical solution: Food.  Steaming stews, piping hot soups, Sunday roasts and of course living in Lyon means dipping your pain au chocolat or biscottes in a big bowl of ricoree or hot chocolate.  The French other half prefers ricoree whilst I think it just smells of fake coffee.  It's actually chicory, which to us  is that bitter tasting salad.  My rocky road was very rocky.  Please note that yes it may look like lumpy poo but it was darn delicious.  I couldn't find golden syrup so used honey and no digestives here nor rich tea (sob) but Petit Lu did the job. Love the no bake no fuss approach.  I think rocky road = life.  Rocky road to finding out who you are!  Oh forgot to add the frankfurter sausage omelette was rather marvellous too (pic 3).
