Hungry? These are just the leftovers, taken to illustrate my guest post at the amazing D.A. Wolf’s Daily Plate of Crazy, one that responds to her insightful post on American’s waste of food.

Still hungry?

I’m off to the market. I may even brave a visit to the Flower Man…
Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy et Bon Appetite!
Good to hear from you! Yes, I couldn't agree with you more about the ambiance and the benefits! For folks that can't make it to the markets, they can order and pick up (some even deliver) a basket of produce depending on the size of the family. Do they have such a thing in Melbourne? It is such a swank city, I bet they do! Hope you are well…
Provence is calling you Wyn!!!
I have always wanted to go to the Portland market, Leslie–hopefully one day! 🙂
I knew either you or Virginia would ask! He gave me a bouquet of lillies. 😉
Mr. Laoch, I think that you would "go to town"! One thing that the locals do is to buy packages of saucisson and olives and foccacia, then order a bottle of wine at one of the lining cafés and have an impromptu street picnic!
I didn't read D.A.'s post but I read yours – bravo! Yes, what a wonderful market – I've seen it with my own eyes! – and a wonderful way to live/eat. May I offer a little push/reminder: these extra photos from your post would be great in an Instagram feed! : ) Just sayin!
Oh, it is one thing when you host…we tend to cook in access too and I certainly see that in the North African communities here too, it is a hearty welcome! But when it is just for at home…well, I am getting better and better about not wasting–it helps the wallet too! Love right back at you…xo
Yep! Normally it is regular rice paella–a big staple in Provence–we have a big Spanish community as we are so close to Spain. 🙂
And that is what makes your writing so beautiful, Edgar…
I am so glad that you liked it! Thanks for having me!
