Enjoying an al fresco brunch on his deck in clement California winter weather after an active morning outdoors.
The Idiot, after a morning outing that included hiking and cycling, feasted on a healthy brunch on his deck. The menu (translated from French) included a blanket of warmed organic applesauce topped with a baked portobello mushroom accompanied by farm-raised pork and eggs bathed in pâte brisée à l’huile d’olive from the Domaine de Piechal in Valbonne, France.
