I was thinking of posting my French market photos from the Ave. Wilson market on Saturday when I saw your post. My comments: FYI to Romain…. Seedless grapes (delicious) are available at this market. Also… loved being in Paris for mushroom season, and love girolles. Chanterelles are the classification of a range of mushrooms, and girolles are one those. I have a house in the south of France and so, luckily, they put garlic on everything in my local restaurants. And of course, fill my house with the scent and taste. The range of fish and vegetables available at Ave Wilson was impressive, even though I shop at both the Cannes and Nice markets — forgot how fabulous Paris is. On another topic: I am an American with a CDC certificate for my 3 !!! Pfizer vaccinations, and a QR code on a California issues document. None of this uploads to the French Tous site…. Even after my French friends insisted that it was possible and tried without success (and without apology). So I have just my CDC card, and this weekend went to 4 museums in Paris without a problem… they just look at the CDC card and accept that it says Pfizer!! Also the same in restaurants, when they ask, which isn’t always. So no problem as far as my experience. And here’s to enjoying the differences in the ways our cultures do things. It doesn’t hurt to try new things, new ways, —including new foods and new people.

Oh, David, Scrolling thru the notes and photos makes my mouth water, and I want to be there. I, too, love to roast beets. Their flavor is unequaled. Interesting, tho, to read about why they were sold roasted. This newsletter is the Best ! Ann M
