Ingredients:
1 apartment in a secluded chalet in the shadow of Mont Blanc and the Aguille du Midi (see above)
3 local kittens and their mom for hours of entertainment
a generous handful of snowy mountain peaks
a sprinkling of glaciers
2 spectacular cable car rides
4 mountain walks
2 Alpine braais (BBQs)
A few wild strawberries
Method:
Mix all the ingredients together in generous quantities. Bake at 30C every day and allow to cool in the daily late-afternoon thundershowers. Make sure everyone gets a big portion every day. Try not to worry about the lack of WiFi or the almost total absence of photographable meals. When you need internet access, why not take your laptop down to the Chamonix tourist office where you have free 24 hour internet access at a long wooden counter under a little awning – perfect for Gonzo blogging in the middle of a thunderstorm. (I am not making this up.)
For dessert, why not try a weekend in Geneva with dear friends:
Garnish with a wedding in a beautiful Chateau and a couple of newlyweds:
BON APPETIT! 🙂
