Stories Collected While Living in France
We are in vacation, happily together. Martin and Chelsea prepared the dinner- Ratatouille, rice, layered beets with scallions and herbed cream cheese, and fig/apricot tart. Perfectly delicious and light on a very warm evening.
Gabriel’s food books- His biggest concern is « will I Have enough books to read? » He packed bags full.
Claire Sparkle has long braids!
These two being good balls for my photo.
This evening’s cooks.
Looks like the latest European heat dome has struck Provence. How miserable. Let’s hope it’s over soon.
I’ve enjoyed beet salad with goat cheese, walnuts etc. before, but have never seen it layered. Très chic!
Were the beets boiled or baked first, then chilled before slicing, and chilled again after the cream cheese was spread on the slices?
We have a nice crop of beets in our garden this year, so this dish would make another recipe to add to our repertoire.
Roasted in an oven.
Served chilled
Family time together is so good!
In this heat, Gabriel may decide he’s finally ready for a big-boy short haircut, in order to keep a bit cooler!
He does not want to cut his hair
Enjoyed seeing your vacation pics! The food looks great!
Gabriel’s question is always mine, too. “Have I got enough books packed?” Heaven forbid I don’t have reading material when I want it. -Kate in Saskatchewan
