| Of Ravel, chopsticks and homemade muesli bars | October 7, 2009 | Today my piano student arrived bearing homemade muesli bars. Sometimes it’s bananas, enough oranges to feed an army, mandarins, avocadoes, homegrown lettuce, and at Christmas it was a homemade dark chocolate fruit and nut Christmas tree.
