INTERLUDE on the half shell

Sunday is the day we go hand-in-hand to the market, and this time of year it is festive : stalls filled with oysters and lobsters, Boudin Blanc and pomegranites piled high, smoked salmon and scallops glistening, nuts and candied fruits and Bûche de Nöel in mouth-watering arrays.

My husband surprised me by buying a dozen oysters


which he then complimented with an order of Choucroute - Hot Sour Kraut with a selection of Alsacian sausages.



That's love!
