Mulberry Crumble Cake

I was totally surprised to see these purple beauties during grocery shopping the other day.

Ozzy had never tasted them but instantly connected it to the rhythm she watches every evening "Here we go around a Mulberry bush".

We came back singing the same on our ride back from the shop. Needless to say with more boxes than needed. 

Berries and Ozzy has a strong connection. Just like strawberries, mulberries didn't last very long.  

Sid was out trekking to Har ki Dun and our house went without dessert for almost the entire time he was away. His come back (read: thank god you're back) gift was this cake.  

Home becomes super quite when he was not around. We missed him. Upon his return she shared her share of mulberries with papa and showed her new jumping tricks she learned.
