Farm Fresh Fruit

Most of the breakfasts we prepare start with a fruit course. In the winter, this can be a bit of a challenge: baked apples, fruit compote etc.... But in the summer, we have all this Farm Fresh Fruit to play with and it makes our breakfasts so much easier. It's fun to work with and fun to shop for!!


 These are the berries from our local roadside farm stand garnishing my raspberry cake. YUM!



           

And the peaches from this tree are used in
my peach melba. Yum again??











 But maybe the most fun we have with farm fresh fruit is watching Kirk make our fruit plates every morning -




                                         

                                  I guess he really loves his job, huh?? Working with this clown can make the mornings a real pleasure but I try not to let the guests see him like this!



   He's so sweet he even takes the time to cut heart shapes out of melon - what a guy!! But don't tell anybody that he wears a cowboy apron while making melon hearts.... shhhh it's just another little secret!
