Oops! I meant to say endives for lunch, with ham. It was a gray day, with sprinkles of rain. Walt built a fire in the wood stove. Meanwhile, I slaved over the kitchen stove, cooking endives in butter and lemon juice and making a sauce mornay, which is béchamel with cheese melted in it.

Ha! I was just showing this dish of yours (from an old post) to my French-4 students!
ReplyDeleteLoooks wonderful!
ReplyDeletePhoto #4 is really strange. The first time I looked at it, I thought it was three eggplant slices over some kind of sausage! Illusion d’optique!
ReplyDeleteNow, I can see both, the baguette and the sausage! For a short while, I wondered what new dish that was.
pareidolia?
DeleteIt's been a long time since you were last in France. You no longer recognize French bread when you see it.
DeleteI have seen French bread for much longer than you and I do know how it looks. May I suggest you should look up illusion d’optique in the dictionary ?
DeleteYour comment sounds angry. I know what an optical illusion is.
DeleteKen I thought you'd get a laugh out of this. Texas Pete hot sauce is being sued because it's not made in Texas, lol. Here's a link: https://abc7.com/texas-pete-lawsuit-hot-sauce-where-is-made/12312519/
ReplyDeleteIt has made their sales go up!
It's been called Texas Pete since it was concocted back in 1929.
DeleteI suspect this will be viewed as a frivolous lawsuit. ;-) Especially when a jar is $3. Or maybe it was for the publicity?
