favorite French fare....

All things "French" are pretty amazing.


There's a French Knot and the French Braid.
You can book a French manicure,
and who doesn't like a room with a French Window?
The French Hen is a keeper,
and so is the French Horn~ if you know how to play it properly.


And Pardon my French....but please don't forget the French Kiss;)


Then you have your "French Food".....


You've got French Bread and  beloved  French Fries.
French Pastry~~~
and although it doesn't go with the pastry... French Mustard.
Don't forget French Vanilla (coffee with cream),
and of course baked French Onion Soup.
French Dressing is pretty darn good too.


And.... on a Saturday morning, 
French Toast tops my list.


Speaking of which.....


Add a lonely bottle of this:

And, although not French~~ 
a Fabulous Fruit Salad created by Miss Molly:

 Saturday morning brunch at our home is served.
~~~~~~

All this because I looked up some French Words for something I was writing. 

Funny how one thing leads to another.

And you had to put up with it all:)


{Coming for breakfast next Saturday?}

Summer Berry

My Strawberries have arrived.



After all our work...we have fruit.

I happen to think strawberries are one of the
nicest things about summer.
~~~

Strawberries have an awful lot of potential.
They can be so many things....
strawberry shortcake, strawberry pie, strawberry salad, strawberry jam, strawberry yogurt, strawberries and cream, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry smoothies, strawberry muffins, strawberry mousse, strawberry tea, strawberry custard....
and of course, just a simple little strawberry on its own has great potential.

s'more weekend

Seems like all I did was eat and absorb sunshine this weekend.
I did go for a long bike and a walk down my road...but yep- other than that.......

There was Greek Food with a friend. My absolute favorite kind of food, until I eat another yummy meal of something~anything else.
(I think I just love all food!)
Tonight I had to try to make it at home, I still wanted more Greek.


Saturday:  BBQ Salmon with grilled avocado. It IS quite good!

And then that night I decided I had worked hard and long all week to deserve chocolate.
Along with graham cookies and marshmallows, the chocolate caramel squares were melted.
And created: A Divine S'more. In my eyes anyway:)
Served with Blackberry Dessert Wine.
By candlelight.
Outside on my deck upstairs very close to a zillion stars.

I enjoyed them so much, I had to include the kids Sunday night on the back patio.....


I don't usually like s'mores. But for some reason I felt a need to celebrate all the blue sky.
And it's good I did. We are back to gray and rain today...and more tomorrow.
How much can one take of this weather?????

Bring on the s'mores!
(next time we are going to try making them with homemade chocolate chocolate chip cookies.....)

Happy eating:)
Now I need a good long run.......
