I love the idea of "cobbling a meal together" at the end of a long day. Tasty treats. For me the cheese and cracker routine has always been a morning tea thing. Swiss cheese is my cheese of choice at the moment. I should have a change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-89611661764975048352008-11-15T07:04:00.000-06:002008-11-15T07:04:00.000-06:00JdV, that is more or less the scenario for me.

My class ended at 5:30 each night, and the shop closed at 6 p.m.<BR/><BR/>MaryRuth, my DH is not as much a cheese lover as I am. He grew up in Michigan, and that may explain it.<BR/><BR/>Jann, I need to catch up with you, too!

This is my preferred type of shopping.....I could spend hours just going in and out of specialty shops.What did you end up getting from this shop? The photo is mouth watering! I am going to try to catch up with as many of your posts as I can.

Some squash here, a few radishes there, the last bits of red romaine, and the final reaping of arugula. Throw in a couple of marinated chicken breasts, and we've got ourselves a meal!<BR/>LOVE the photos from France. Just keep bringing them out, little by little, so as not to overwhelm us!!!Farmgirl Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596602094024708943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-91229876172443257502008-11-14T11:11:00.000-06:002008-11-14T11:11:00.000-06:00I love going into food shops and look around.

They give samples of new cheeses to. It's quite away from my neighborhood so I don't go too often. when I do I like to have plenty of time to look around.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294409781417087833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-75035527628646323572008-11-14T05:57:00.000-06:002008-11-14T05:57:00.000-06:00Yes, those were the days, Lydia!

It too was one of those enticing places, especially at the end of the day, when I could picture myself going home, unwrapping my little piece of cheese, and sitting down with a few crackers and cheese and a good book. Ah, those were the days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
