Today I had my last two ethics classes before taking a week off from them because of this weekend’s upcoming trip to New Zealand. After those, at midday and 1pm, I took Scully for a walk to the patisserie Moon Phase to celebrate.
The last few times I’ve been there I’ve seen a new special pastry called a “Roman Holiday”, which I really wanted to try, but those times I was after a small sweet treat, not a large savoury. But today they had it again, and I decided I had to try it.
It’s a base of flaky pastry topped with a ring of sliced cherry tomatoes around the edge and a mini burrata cheese plonked in the middle, decorated with basil leaves. The pastry is also filled with some tomato and pesto and I think there was some other ingredient in there but I didn’t identify it. Anyway, it was really really good, as have been most of the pastries I’ve had from this place.
Tonight I’m planning to relax and then get an early night, since I don’t have any online classes as I usually do. The goal is to get used to getting up an hour or two earlier by Friday when we fly out to New Zealand. Since the time zone there is two hours east of us, so we’ll have to be getting up earlier there.
