Home sweet home. The first of May is Labor Day in France, but somehow, my first Saturday morning back in Paris is feeling minimally laborious. Coffee in the sun, then to the market to buy Augustin his first muget - the lily of the valley that the French give for good luck. 
Spring has officially sprung. You'll excuse me, I must go shell some peas...I bought dorade for dinner - I'm thinking a sauce minute of cherry tomatoes, lardons, fresh peas and coriander...
love muget...
ReplyDeletewhat a little cutie Augustin is and what an auspicious name!
French Girl says you can not find lardons in the US...any thoughts?

That boy is oh so cute...Happy belated labour day. There is a summary and a few comments on your book at the VBC if you'd care to visit again...
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I was in Paris on May 1 last year and loved the lily of the valley EVERYWHERE! Have a wonderful dinner, sounds delish.

Welcome back to France, love muguet, it so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the parfait French May Day. I hope Sunday was equally indulgent...
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Elizabeth. Your wee one up there is so cute with the lily of the valley flowers!
ReplyDeleteI just finished your book in less than 2 days.
ReplyDeleteI was that in love with it. We have been going
to Paris(My husband, my four girls and I) every Summer for the last 5 years. You touch the heart of the people and the soul that is
the food in France. I adored the book and can't wait to read more.Your son is beautiful.
