Birthday Feast II: Repas d'anniversaire francais

24th May! My Birthday! First we out to The Burrows for breakfast at Westend, then Marie Anne, Rhiannon and I went to a nearby market for last minute grocery shopping for Repas d'anniversaire francais (French dinner).
We ordered Rivendell (left, toasted granola with seasonal fresh and poached fruit, yogurt, milk and honey), The Nirvana (right, thick-cut fruit and nut toast with ricotta and honey) and my Wookie waffles (Darth Mulberry, mulberry, dark chocolate and sweet ricotta). We were very satisfy with our sweet breakfast! <3
