Anyone wanna come over for dinner?
|
Oh Le Bugue, how we shall miss you.
We wound down our time nicely with Julius and Joelle. At the
risk of repeating myself, we finished our work with a touch more weeding, planting,
and fence-making. If Joelle hadn’t been such a phenomenal cook, I might have
despaired a bit. As it was, I would have weeded poison ivy in a bikini if it meant me being allowed to sitt down to one of her meals.
Let’s have a look at a few more highlights, shall we?

Foie Gras shop

Joelle’s take on Shepards Pie uses DUCK CONFIT.
No big deal,
right..RIGHT!?? okitsabigdeal.

An appetizer Joelle whipped together in about 15 minutes:
Endive with tuna salad, prosciutto & melon, and squares of herbed feta
skewered between cherry tomatoes. Bam!
|
 |
| Homemade spaetzle & goulash |
 |
| Shelling fresh peas for a salad... Wanna try? Quickly blanch peas, add some chopped prosciutto to taste, a handful of fresh mint, some diced shallots if ya feel like it, and a splash of EVOO, red wine vinegar, and a pinch salt and pepper. Oh! And butter, how about some butter? nomnomnomnom. |

| Hello,
amazingly crispy AND soft baked potatoes. Score ‘em, herb ‘em, oil ‘em, and bake. |

Snap peas and haricot vert from the garden (purple fresh,
and green after cooking!), and some raspberries and strawberries (literally the
best I’ve ever tasted) from a neighbor
|
 |
John and I went to the Rouffignac caves to see
prehistoric drawings of horses, mammoths, goats, ibex, and buffalo.
Pictures weren't allowed inside, but perhaps I can convince you that it was
awesome simply by willing it so?

| Farewell, Le Bugue! |

Meggan and John, you have almost convinced me to give up my plans for a grass and flower garden in favor of bright, fresh, lovely vegetables. The only catch -- the young deer who has come right up to the house to nibble the roses...
ReplyDeleteThey eat venison in France don't they Meggan?
