Wales March 12th 2010


On the right. the house in Laugharne that we rented 12 years ago for a holiday. The village hasn't change a bit since then. Its where Under Milk Wood was written so that should give you an idea of what its like. Claire looked out of her bedroom window on the first day and exclaimed "there is a castle at the bottom of our garden". Well there is.

Welsh is the predominant language of this area as you can see from the sign. On the road you really have to slow down to read road signs otherwise you only see the Welsh. We had lunch in a pub along the road and Claire described the vegetarian options as the best she had ever had:


Cranberry Walnut Brie presented by Brooks Street Inn B&B

1 round of brie cheese
1 sheet of puff pastry
1 cup dried cranberries (divided)... See More
½ cup chopped walnuts
Egg wash
Raw sugar for garnish
Preheat oven to 400.
Cut puff pastry sheet about 2 inches larger than the brie.
Put ½ of the cranberries in the middle of the pastry and set the brie on top of them.
Put the other ½ of cranberries and the nuts on top of the brie and fold the pastry up
and around, snipping at corners as necessary and using egg wash to stick it together.
Brush egg wash on top of pastry and sprinkle with raw sugar.
Bake until brown and puffy (about 20 minutes). Serve with apple slices.
