| Baguettes Tradition, Roasting Chickens and Figs |
This Friday, I took part in a Parisian ritual. At 6 pm, parents were lined up to pick up their adorable french kids from maternelle (yes, at 6pm on a FRIDAY NIGHT). After this, most of the parents (those who didn't already have a baguette tucked under their arm) made a bee-line for the Boulangerie to pick up a baguette, and then a quick stop at a vegetable vendor for some fresh veggies, followed by a stop at a charcuterie for some meat to cook up with the veggies and the baguette. I decided to follow suit (without the small, well dressed child in tow).
I went to the charcuterie and picked up a just-roasted chicken, then to the boulangerie where I got a just-baked baguette 'tradition' (it amazes me that they still bake fresh baguettes at 6 pm), and then to the fromagerie where I grabbed some delicious hard goats cheese, and the vegetable vendor where I grabbed some rocket and fresh figs. I came home, found my roomate, opened a bottle of Rose and put together a delicious and super easy dinner of rocket, fig, goat cheese, drizzled with a bit of balsamic and freshly ground pepper, roast chicken and still-warm baguette. Absolutely, incredibly, delicious.
