I detest waste, so am determined to use every bit of the summer bounty.<br />I have used celeriac before; what in the world is samphire?<br />we had plenty of veg @ chez Phillips growing up, though my father was adamant about not eating carrots, a wartime aversion held to the end.<br />Young Master will perhaps acquire a taste for veg., never can tell.<br />Enjoy your posts about your holiday.Relucent Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414827898661535555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-14413707737692377072010-06-21T08:45:53.210-07:002010-06-21T08:45:53.210-07:00Holy Toledo, RR, you have invaded and now occupied...Holy Toledo, RR, you have invaded and now occupied the vegetable world. I didn't see asparagus but then the season may be against you - unless, like us out-of-season, you get it from Peru. Just think of that journey. But then they gave the name of their capital city to a bean. Celeriac? Samphire?<br /><br />There were three generations of Bondens at the villa in France but the most recent has no interest whatsoever in veggies. But then I wasn't that enthusiastic in what have been called my salad days. Veggies are a mark of growing up.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-54882790271000874632010-06-19T13:18:34.496-07:002010-06-19T13:18:34.496-07:00Thank you for the comment, Crow.

RR is told he is an exuberant cook---not a good one, mind, but bless his heart, he tries.;)<br />Hope all is well with you.<br />Regards.Relucent Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414827898661535555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-57139807885907116652010-06-18T09:04:42.188-07:002010-06-18T09:04:42.188-07:00Okay...okay...I cannot read these food posts while...Okay...okay...I cannot read these food posts while I am at work - or during daytime hours when any one might see me in a lather over what you've posted.<br /><br />Mrs. RR is a VERY fortunate woman to have a husband who likes to cook and isn't afraid to play in the kitchen!<br /><br />I am drooling like my late, beloved pooch used to drool over seeing the peanut butter jar come out of the cabinet.<br /><br />OMG, this is too much.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
