In the salad, the list of vegetabkes is: green beans, yellow zucchinis, radishes, arugula, fava beans and snap peas. I used fresh tarragon, parsley and made a vinaigrette with walnut oil.

C’est très americain, mon choux!

Wendy, thank you. So you want summer eh?

Jennie, maybe one day it will be possible

Figs Olive Wine, ah nice to hear. It is a great association, isn’t it?

Chanelle,

Heidi, thank you.

Yoyo, once again, thanks

Leonine, merci beaucoup.

Fabienne, tant mieux.

Oh Corinne, tu me fais tant envie là! Dommage que je sois si loin effectivement. De bons abricots, c’est si précieux.

Kat, thank you.

Ronell, thank you as well. I think I beat my record of making clafoutis this summer.

Joey, great, I now need to post the recipe, don’t I?

Tanna, thank you.

Mae, no handle no, but a removable bottom. Loved it too. Good to know about the trade

ALmost vegetarian, oh yes, the best of summer indeed.

Rose, nice to know

Flo, oui je dois la publier. Je le ferai bientôt, promis.

Lisa, oh I wish I could give you some of our heat. I am so done with it.

Ellie, wish I could share it.

Veron, to me too!

Florence, ca a l’air d’une superbe idée.

Betty, oh I so much know what you mean. I noticed the same thing. Fruit like apricots are not the same, and I just do not know why.

Peabody, so hot in Seattle as well??

When I can in France, I make a great apricot tart with “poudre d’amandes.” I’m sure chestnuts go very well with it too — I like the summer/winter juxtaposition.
