So many stories to share from our recent few weeks in France. Starting off with the tielles... Now kinda wishing I'd tried every single version I came across on my trip. But super happy to have gone to the source and had a couple from a shop in Sète that's been making them for decades. Ah, the joys of travel!!! Link to the newsletter, in the bio. #seafood #travel #tiellesdesète

Brisk stroll this morning to @dupainetdesidees for some treats. Now an indulgent trio for le petit déjeuner: ficelle, croissant (bien dorée), chausson au pomme. Mmmm. Life in Paris, pas si mal!!

From some initial strolling around Montpellier. Learned a ton on a tour yesterday morning, among things of note that it's home to the oldest operating medical school in Europe. The botanical garden was established to support study of medicinal plants and I believe she said that the garden still today is associated with the medical school.

Some scenes from a few days on the Canal du Midi, a few more to go. Stretches of lovely scenery motoring along slowly, punctuated by the focused attention needed going through the locks. We've been through 2 or 3 triples, three locks in immediate succession. Getting better at rope-tossing. Still working on my finesse of gracefully flipping the rope off the bollard...have done it a few times!

Quick and easy dinner last night. Shrimp from the freezer, half a bunch of kale and small eggplant in the fridge, half of that onion and extra-flavorful CSA garlic. Seasoned with Aleppo pepper. Super tasty. #seafood #homecooking #wingingit #seafoodsavvy #shrimp
