Hi Pastille, Thank you, we had a great break--feel like a new woman!!! We were in France, so ate well and drank even better.
Re melons, it is strange but i learned this in France years ago in markets watching the French women smelling fruit and veg -- on inquiring i was told this strange fact.. Please do not think it affects the taste as they are delicious especially sprinkled with black pepper -- same as strawberry's. I have missed our chats and the general chatter here -- so looking forward to getting back into the swing. Did u enjoy the Olympics? We missed the opening ceremony but watched the closing one--in french!
