Dateline Normandy -- A more-than-generous yield of fresh rhubarb meant some face-stuffing with sweet treats at Chateau Blanc this weekend as S whipped up a rhubarb crumble one night and a rhubarb-banana pie the next. Tons more await to be picked, ensuring even more goodies for the next few weeks to come, while a bumper crop of raspberries are headed for cobblers and jams with the rest saved in the freezer for Sunday-brunch pancakes. Soon the apples will be ready for cider, as well as plums and pears for pies and jam. Au chateau, it's a very fruitful time indeed. ~30~

The fruit is spectacular/impressive and delicious looking. Lettuce ain't half bad either! I am totally impressed with your skills as a gardener and chef. My blackberry cobbler was NOT impressive. The dogs didn't even like it! The berries were beautiful though. So glad you are sharing the harvest with us! Thanks!
