Les Halles De Lyon

Train travel spoils you. No need to get to the airport 2+ hours before your flight, no waiting in long security lines, no strict weight and size limits on your luggage. You arrive a bit before your train is scheduled to depart, stow your bags, find your seat and away you go! Living in Paris spoils you too. You quickly learn that much of France and many parts of Europe are just a few hours from the city. (and escaping from time to time is good for le moral ) Feel like going to Amsterdam? No problem! Jump on a train and you'll be there in just over 3 hours. Want to taste some wine in Bordeaux? It's only 2½ hours away. Craving some bouillabaisse and time on the beach?

It has been aged for a mere two weeks, during which its rind is washed daily in Pommeau, a fruity mixture of AOC Calvados and apple juice that is enjoyed locally as an apéritif. The pâte has a very fine, crumbly texture and the flavor is sweet, lactic and mild, with stronger aromas and flavors on the rind. I expected it to pack more of a punch, so was pleasantly surprised by its softness. I think it will make a...

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Over the weekend I was looking over my  Flickr stream  and came across all these lovely photos of springtime in the Languedoc. Wow! I had forgotten how beautiful it is this time of year down there, with the  coquelicots  and wisteria in bloom and the vines sprouting bright green leaves. So if you don't mind, I'm going to share some of my nostalgia with you. I can't believe how inexpensive this asparagus is!
