In reply to Lisa.

Thank you so very much, Lisa, I appreciate that. How did you enjoy your time in France? Colmar is beautiful and I’m sure seeing the torch pass there with your son was quite the experience.

I sincerely hope you’ll continue to enjoy the recipes I share, and as always, feel free to comment or ask any questions. 🙂

I was in Colmar when the torch came through and enjoyed the experience with my young son. I grew up in Canada and have always been crazy about the Olympics and the Tour de France. This year’s tour is no less exciting than usual 🙂 I live in the US now and enjoy your blog which allows me to make delicious things I’ve eaten in your lovely country.

Thank you so very much, Candy, I really appreciate the kind words. And I’m so happy that you’re learning French 🙂 Is it for business, pleasure, or both?
I really hope you enjoyed the madeleines and will continue to enjoy the monthly gazettes. Your support is always welcome!

In reply to Annie Conway. Hello, Annie from Johannesburg! I have very find memories of visiting South Africa when I was younger, with my parents. Beautiful country! You're right about seasonality in the southerm hemisphere (especially that far south), it's basically polar opposit to ours, no? What's plentiful at this time of year for you?

Drooling, as usual. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa so what’s seasonal for you is not for us, but it all gets stored away carefully until our (much hotter than your) summer arrives.

In reply to Rich.

I definitely remember getting enormous doses of political campaigning when I was living in Canada, for both the Canadian and American elections… What I always found the oddest, was the “slanderous” TV ads that would play. I don’t want to say that they’re illegal here, because I don’t really know.. But I’ve never seen them, and hope it stays that way.

On a positive note, thank you so much for the support, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the gazettes!

In reply to Audrey. Sorry for the confusion. I was talking about the second photo with the caption about "Fava bean season in France" and the boxes of pea pods. The picture that opens your article with the pods and the beans in the the bowl ARE indeed favas. And they do look delicious.

This was a wonderful Gazette and I look forward to next months. The US is no stranger to political turmoil and one aspect of European elections are they are short in duration of the campaign. A US presidential election are years in length and can really tax your patience and sanity.
