Here's what the new
volet roulant in the kitchen looks like. By the way,
un volet roulant (a roll-down shutter) is also called
un store. In the first photo, the store is closed but the sheer curtains are open. In the second, the sheer curtains are closed.
While the five new shutters were being installed, I was in the kitchen roasting peppers that I bought at the supermarket the day before. I roasted them in the air fryer. Five of them fit perfectly in the fryer drawer. They came out looking beautiful. Now all I have to do is peel them (in theory, the skin just falls or slips off) and then de-seed them (also a fairly easy job but messy). The roasted flesh of the peppers will be good in salads or eaten on crackers or toast with some goat cheese (
fromage de chèvre) or cream cheese (
fromage à tartiner) and a little glass of wine.

Will u leave the curtains up?
ReplyDeleteYes, we will leave the curtains. They are antiques, I'm sure. Also very easy to wash in the machine.
DeleteThat looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou mastered air fryer cooking quickly!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty straight-forward. When in doubt, lower the temperature of the air fryer and keep an eye on what you're cooking. I was surprised how easy it was to cook the peppers in the fryer basket.
DeleteLooking good! Wondering how to pronounce "un store" in French?
ReplyDeletePretty much as in English. One syllable. French R, not American...
DeleteThe new shutter looks great. I wish I weren’t allergic to bell peppers.

I like the new and improved shutters. Much brighter than the brown one. The red peppers look delicious. Never thought of having them in a salad. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteYou are an influencer for Air Fryers, Ken! Those red peppers look great raw and after in the machine!
