French Country Food: A Craving for a Scrumpdillyumptious French Dessert

French antique country ware

A French country meal starts with soup… lately we (Sacha and I) have had are fair share of it. French Husband has become a mini Paul Bocuse, I am not complaining, no siree. French Husband has cooked dinner every night since I returned home from the States.

He even goes to the grocery store! I am awestruck, simply surprised… I am wondering how long this will last. My fingers are crossed, not because I do not like to cook, but because it is such a delightful treat to have him in the kitchen whipping up goodness.

Classic French country dishes

French Husband use to serve food that was only white: baguettes, goat cheese, pasta with cream sauce, rice, yogurt, apple slices, milk….

He even sets the table, lights a candle…

French ironstone platters 

Cuts the vegetables in all sorts of unusual shapes… 

French wine bottle carriers

Has a bottle of red wine on the table too! Yes siree, white was
nice, but since my absence his palette has ripened with a new
direction, developing a fuller color scheme that is off the charts.

Three course meals, starting with soup. Like I said I have been so awestruck I haven't noticed if he is wearing an apron or not. Oh that Mini-Paul-Bocuse-with-a-head-full-of-hair- man-of-mine!

French Dessert 

Scrumpdillyumptious — he is the best dessert.

Definition,
"When a food is so incredibly good you can do little to resist it. If
you get a craving for a scrumpdillyumptious food you tend to salivate
at the mouth ferociously and uncontrollably, your want for this food
will stop you at nothing to get it. While you are digesting this food,
your taste buds turn into orgasmic nerves, the experience turns into
a life changing ordeal. Dopamine may actually be released
(depending on the experience or the level of srumpdillyumptious-ness) in the
brain. Scrumpdillyumptious-ness is individual, what may be good to
you, might not be the same for every one else." Urban Dictionary

    There is something incredibly sexy about a man who will cook for you! I think he has ulterior motives.

    You are blessed — FH knows what a treasure you are and must have missed you terribly while you were in the States — and he is willing to go through great lengths to prove how much he cares.
