Perfect Finale
A nice way to end a Fall meal in SW France: cow’s milk blue cheese from les Landes, organic baguette, last of the season green figs, chocolate from a local organic artisan and a glass of madiran.

Merluchon
A simple dinner at the house in Orthez: small “merluchons” broiled with garlic, lemon and olive oil…yummy! Merlu is the Atlantic fish that we know in English as hake. You will also find it on French menus as colin and as far as I have been able find, merluchon just means small merlu. Merlu

A really tasty dish at restaurant Chez Canaille in Pau….pigs ears simmered until tender, cooked on the plancha until crispy, then tossed with garlic-parsley persillade. That’s right, a whole plate of pig’s ears.

Saturday lunch, Alsace-style
Quick photo of me at lunch with the part of the Drohman family that lives in Alsace…where, incidentally,it is spelled Drohmann.

In Alsace
I am in Alsace! As a prelude to a visit to our house in the SW of France, decided to plan a week in a region about which I don’t know very much…a considerable shortcoming on my part, given that I have family that live in Flaxlanden, a village outside of Mulhouse in southern Alsace.
