Right around the corner,
My Belle Mere lives in the center of Rennes.
Everything is at her fingertips.
The best bread, the best butter, the best oysters, the best wine…
Oh my.
French Husband opened the oysters, my Belle Mere made a vinaigrette: Red wine vinegar and diced shallots, touch of salt.
Next door to the Fish Market, was an Italian traiteur, I bought a serving of Risotto with truffles. My mouth waters still.
Oysters less than a dollar each, and they were the size of my hand.
Risotto… Four dollars for 12 ounces.
A baguette… 90 cents
Incredible Haut Medoc wine, 2002… 18 dollars.
A meal divine.
