Just four white chicks sitting around....

Yes, yes, yes I see, there are just three (if you want to see me please go to Dedeene’s blog www.soyezlabienvenuechezmoi.blogspot.com) and they are standing, but for the rest of this four hour lunch we sat around,


And talked, and chattered, and yelped

(at least Pasha did when she wasn’t napping with her friend).

And ate a fabulous lunch! Here we are feeding our faces.
Well, three of us feeding our faces, I was, of course, taking the photo, non? Sorry, I was way too occupied eating it and didn’t give my camera even a first thought.

And this was not a four hour liquid lunch In which I was known to participate in from time to time while living in Manhattan.

We talked!!!!! About EVERYTHING! And yes, lambasted the French, but with lots of love…..

And, of course we talked about Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll but also everything under the sun.

But I’m not finished…almost. Leaving Rosie’s house to return, guess what I finally found? MUSHROOMS!




Lovely cêpes (ceps or porcini), pieds du mouton (hedgehog fungus),
And coprain (shaggy ink caps),


So I put them in a sautèuse (frying pan)…….
I let them grill until they lose their water then I add a bit of butter, and lots of parsley (garlic…it depends on my mood)

This time I served them on top of a twice-baked potatoes. Yummmmmmmms! You can also add the cooked mushrooms to a cheese fondue.

In anything, on anything they are great!

Oh, just one last thing,
here is the lovely sunset
I found on the way home.

Thank you lovely ladies for a lovely day.
