What I cannot find on the packaging is the rating and percentages. Frustrating!<br /><br />Aunty,<br />I bet youse going to have some fine food reports about your French visit.<br /><br />Thanks much for the sable recipe. You know anything about the difference in their sugar and ours? I have a new botle of madagascar vanilla in the cupboard so I'm good there. I have to go to near by BigCity tomorrow so I will be plying my custom with the huge organic/natural grocer there.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-7039579030492714422011-10-16T08:11:47.911-04:002011-10-16T08:11:47.911-04:00Fishy,

Also am now desperate to find French butter which is definitely different, French sugar which has more sweetness in less volume and then there is the issue of a great little cookie called a Sable (sob-lay)and of course, the chocolates. <br /><br />Beyond these woes, I am assuredly in architectural splendor withdrawal. Even in my sleep my stem is trying to creatively problem solve how to turn the Pond house into a petite chateau.<br />How to incorporate a moat without looking pretentious and I really must have a stone wall ....<br /><br />Aunty,<br />I did take your advice on some of the accommodations! Here's the thing about the design tour ... hardly any of them chateaus come with a good rockin' porch.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-5483132222920882932011-10-15T09:54:37.135-04:002011-10-15T09:54:37.135-04:00Whoa!!

Notice ya din't take up my offer to lead me through the Paris puces...what? Mah offer to be yore guide fer a convent tour, as trade fer yore design tour din't appeal to ya' so much? Sniff. Sniff, sniff...wail! <br /><br />Really lookin' forward to yore adventures in all thangs French.<br /><br />Must say that the countryside were heartbreaking beautiful, every wee village had flowers an' each field an' farm lush an orderly--like a storybook picture.Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-9410482866625109172011-10-14T21:12:25.091-04:002011-10-14T21:12:25.091-04:00Welcome back!

I have yet to find the exact right ones here, not even at my favorite French bakery in town. One of the culinary delights of my life was three straight week's worth of French breakfasts--two croissants, jam, and cafe au lait (also nearly impossible to get correctly done here).<br /><br />I also know that slightly blue feeling upon returning home from a great adventure. Even if home is wonderful.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-33209438060902747402011-10-14T18:13:53.455-04:002011-10-14T18:13:53.455-04:00Hi Pam,

I sort of anticipated images which illuminated a good Dick Francis.<br /><br />Boxer,<br />My timetable and Aunty's did overlap but I don't think I passed her in any airports. I actually am looking forward to seeing her travel posts. Is she back?<br /> <br />More about the affordable, off season, design tour when my brain is functional.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-26267960827911879202011-10-14T17:27:41.289-04:002011-10-14T17:27:41.289-04:00Wow you and Aunty must have passed in the airport?...Wow you and Aunty must have passed in the airport?
