And the Chardonnay I buy from the coop in St-Romain is about 1.00€ per bottle!<br /><br />I personally couldn't recommend bringing American coffee to France. French coffee is not bitter, IMO. You'd be surprised how little we pay for coffee at the supermarket. But mostly we drink tea. British tea.<br /><br />That sounds like a decent price for artichokes, but then California is artichoke country (at least up north, around Monterey and Santa Cruz). We got our latest asparagus for 4.00€/kg, which is about the same price you are paying.<br /><br />Judy, all I can say is follow you nose in evaluating the chèvre. If it smells (and looks) good, it probably is. If it is very hard, grate it and melt in on pasta.<br /><br />Anonymous, which Monoprix do you go to?<br /><br />Loulou, our chèvres are delicious...Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-32005511519710702712009-05-10T19:54:00.000+02:002009-05-10T19:54:00.000+02:00Sorry I forgot to write my name of the long commen...Sorry I forgot to write my name of the long comment.Nadegenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-32135500519840001972009-05-10T19:53:00.000+02:002009-05-10T19:53:00.000+02:00How nice to eat "fresh and local".
I thought of yo...How nice to eat "fresh and local".<br />I thought of you yesterday while at Whole Foods. I saw a Malbec "Zette" of 2005 for $18. At Costco, artichokes are $1.24 a head (they come in a pack of 4) and asparagus are the equivalent of $1.99 a pound. Of course, those vegetables are always more expensive at regular supermarkets. Thank you for the website for Weber in France. The one I want was on sale at Lowes for $69, $89 at Walmart. There was an interesting article in the food section of the LA Times of May 6 about chicken. Trader Joe's uses the european method of air chilling their chicken. One more question if I may; what kind of coffee to you guys drink? Apparently, french coffee is bitter (it is a question of taste and how you are use to a product of course), but I was wondering how you are rating coffee. Maybe I should bring back American coffee back to France.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-28978656969931694672009-05-10T16:33:00.000+02:002009-05-10T16:33:00.000+02:00oooooohhhhh....

So much so that a friend of mine bought me a big selection at Christmas, from a farm in Vermont (<A HREF="http://www.vermontguides.com/2008/02-feb/blue_ledge.html" REL="nofollow"> Blue Ledge Farm</A> ). But... it was way too much for me to eat right away... how long does it last in the fridge? I imagine it should have been eaten right away :(( What do you think? The littlest "pepper chèvre" is hard now, but the big wheel is still feeling soft.<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-76898444466291518822009-05-10T13:18:00.000+02:002009-05-10T13:18:00.000+02:00You are tantalizing me.
