A night at the Freud Museum! The idea appeals. I always think twelve hours the perfect length for any holiday. Philip Larkin at his most likable said, “I wouldn’t mind seeing China if I could come back the same day,” and I agree. Packing my case, though, my intent feels heavy.

You might know it under an outrageously continental name, fruit givré, but that’s a baroque way to say “a frozen dessert served in the fruit it’s made of.” Really, it doesn’t have to be fancy.
