A few days ago I asked you, "What you would love to find at the Brocante (Antique flea- market, in France.)," and to leave me a comment (here) and that I would try to find the object of your desire (or something close to it) and add a photo of it to my sidebar.
Things you Like, is starting to fill up with the things you like. Of course, you can still add your name and favored treasure. I will add your link as soon as I can find an object that fits the description of what you like to find when antiquing.
Let me tell you I am still looking for a cow… yes a cow… someone mentioned a cow.
I'll find it, and hopefully she won't be standing on her last leg!
Some of you asked me how I met Tessa, from yesterday's post. My cousin Sandra, who lives near Tessa, and is her hairdresser, is a friend of Tessa, and introduced us last summer. Tessa came to visit her father this Christmas. We met at our home, and that is when she saw our fountain….
The seven goldfish rode in the backseat of our car, in a large garbage can. I sat in the backseat, as French Husband drove the back roads through the countryside… and of course, those back roads were not straight, and of course, water and fish splashing or jumping out was a major concern… but I put a sheet over the garbage can and held on tight.
We survived. (Though the whole time French Husband and I were thinking, "What if the garbage can flips over and the fish… " … I am sure you get the picture of our stressful ride back home.
I am adding my recipes to the sidebar of my blog, look over there on the right side under French Dressing.
A few of you nearly choked, when I said that Annie's Greek Stuffed Cabbage recipe called for SIX CUPS OF OLIVE OIL…and I am sorry about that!! But in defense of the six cups of olive oil… there isn't any meat in the cabbage rolls, and Annie said meat adds a heck of a lot in fat, and since there isn't any meat you gotta add it in somehow.
Annie, also told me to tell you, that the cabbage we stuffed was ONE GIANT Cabbage, and a giant like that calls for good stuffing… she also said, that the other day we made over thirty, chunky-monkey rolls (okay, she didn't say chunky-monkey but something close to that. I am not very good at French translation.)
Do you have any other burning questions? If not I'll be back later with a Strawberry Shortcake Recipe. Grab a fork and a plate, because it is gonna be good.
