Yesterday my 96 year old
mother paid us a visit at
the country house we are
currently minding in the
townland of Kilballyowen.

The tossed bread, which is
normally thrown to the hens,
was incorporated into a
traditional pain perdu, or en
Anglais, a bread pudding.

Afterwards, the dispossessed
were rewarded avec Le Creuset,
as there were good and crusty
peckings to be had from all
around the high cast iron edges.
