Flâner is a lovely word that means, depending on who says it and when, ambling, taking one’s time, receding from the hustle and bustle of daily life. That’s what I’m doing this week, in Cap Ferret, across the water from Arcachon, and south of Bordeaux. It’s other name is Paradise. Herewith, a few photos.
This Week’s Recipe
Get the best local oyster you can find, medium-sized
Get some wonderful person to shuck it, and about two dozen others if you’re two
Get some delicious rye or other favorite bread
Get some excellent and lightly salted butter
Finally, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc
Bon Appétit!
So glad you were able to get away and unwind. Those oysters look delicious.
It was bliss; and now I’m in another bliss of teaching. So fun!
“Thank you for sharing! How delightful! My imagination allows me to travel with you!
My experiences living in the magical Northwest allows me to imagine sharing oysters, bread and wine with you!”
A bientôt
November 1,2,3!

Betty Sue – the oysters are so much saltier than in the Pacific Northwest! And with bread and wine, well, it’s a perfect meal!
