BON JOUR!!
Are you following the Olympics? We’re not watching much of the events, but have taken an interest in all things French--food, books, textiles, wine, TV shows, etc. Especially "Emily in Paris"! How could you not like to see all those awesome fashions and the views of the city?! That's the best part of any international program. Recently, we found show about canal boats—mostly in England but, there is also a canal runs through France!
We can be there in spirit and just imagine how it would feel to walk the streets, float the canals, eat from the garden food carts; coffee shops along the Seine, flower market booths--all fabulous
Julia Child lives on with her cookbooks. I've not mastered anything French in the way of food, but I"ll keep trying. Today since I had some fresh raspberries, I made the Clafouti recipe--yes, it's traditionally
made with cherries, but any fresh red fruit will work in my opinion.
Really easy and quick to assemble.
Beautiful! Add a little powered sugar sprinkled over the top and serve with whip cream!
Easy knit French beret by Erica Lamer
I've knit berets before for my granddaughter so this will be one for the charity basket--
For breakfast, we'll savor crossiant with French scrambled eggs (made with clarified butter and creme fraiche) melts in your mouth! Top it off with a cup of coffee from a French press! What could be more delicious than that?!
My new reading list includes books by Antonie Laurain "The Red Notebook" and "Madame Pommfry" by Rebecca Rosenberg--she was the mother to champagne. Love drinking that bubbly—is interesting reading about how she begun her business.
Au revoir for now
