Ok, I know you want to see something besides jewel-like vegetables and fruits, but it’s so hard to stop. These gorgeous little tomatoes, Reine Claude plums, and incredibly sweet figs just seem so much more important than anything else these days. I know, we need to get serious, not spend all of our time shopping, cooking, and eating, but I ask you: how?
If you opened your market basket and this were just a part of what came tumbling out, what would you do? Would you be thinking about world affairs, the cultural practices of foreigners in a strange land, the uses of the subjunctive in a dimly-heard language? Or would you be thinking about lunch?
And then, if there were also this in your basket
would you be able to resist? The soft and slightly sweet pain viennois, fougasse with olives and duck cracklings, and a réligieuse filled with chocolate pastry cream, or the latest news from the World Cup of rugby? You choose.
