Arthur makes a Poilâne-style Miche, a big beautiful sourdough (Poilâne being one of the most famous bread bakers in the world; "miche" being his signature country bread).  The final loaf looks just the picture in the book, and Arthur strikes a pose in same style.

Eurovision Party

Our friend Elden arrives!  

A few days later some friends host a "Eurovision" party - the international music competition where each European country enters one group to win it all.  The party consists of dressing up as one country and bringing a bit of representative cuisine.  We drew the Netherlands, with some others including Estonia, Romania, and Austria.  The resident chook seemed to like Arthur's Dutch head the best.

Out in the jungle today doing some work and came across a big ole walking stick and a robber crab feasting on a red crab.
