Where have I been you ask, well I have been busy doing the " SPA" thing (I'll explain later). As promised I will give you one more of my favorite recipes from Julia Child's book. Actually only part of the recipe is from "The Book" and that's the sauce. You know the French, masters of sauces. So the recipe I am giving you is called "Salmon Fillet" in pastry with lavender, served with a " Beurre Blanc" sauce. Don't let the name scare you it's quite easy and delicious! Oh If you need Lavender, drop me a note and I'll send you some free! So in the words of Julia Child's "no fear"!
Picking Vegetables! what are grandchildren for if you can't put them to work. Notice the mud. They had a ball getting really dirty. Thanks Max and Mimi for your help! 
" This is a book for the servantless American cook who can be unconcerned on occasion with budgets, waistlines, time schedules, children's meals, etc..." This is the first sentence in the forward of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"
IT'S summer time, and a plethora of fruits and veggies are emerging. I always love when cherries come on. Then I know summer is n full swing.
