Friday evening "Chez Nous"

Posted by Rosie

Simon is currently in the other room, shouting at the television. Actually he is shouting at the referee of the rugby match he is watching on the television but he is still shouting!! I'm afraid I can't get excited about rugby so I'm on here catching up with blogs and planning what to sell at the "Vide Grenier" in the next village at Easter.

A Vide Grenier is a car boot sale and they are very popular in France. I'm planning to do a cakes and produce stall as the French seem to love English produce - cakes, biscuits, sweets, jams, pickles and any produce from the garden. April is notorious for being an empty month for fresh produce but I may have rhubarb, spring cabbage and purple sprouting broccoli. Tomorrow I'm going to sow some more seeds to try and sell on as seedlings.

Oh 'eck - he's shouting again - not sure quite why but I'm off to see what preserves I've already got and what others I can make. Now where is my recipe for lemon curd?
