We plan to make the local Savoie (the region of France we live in) specialty called Tartiflette. Its basically potatoes, cubed bacon, cream, onion, and topped off with the local specialty cheese reblochon and baked in the oven. Sort of like hot-dish with high fat content, a hot-dish is a casserole (for our southern relatives) Click here for the recipe.
How many groceries can you put in your bookbag and in the basket of your bike? Adam found out the answer.
On a side note, we have been letting John try new foods, we tried peas today and as you can see he prefers all other foods to peas. Ahhh...a real chip off the old block.
Poor little guy! Which block hates peas? You, Adam? I did not know that either of you did.It will be so nice to have John and Laura there with you. I hope you have a wonderful time together. Please say "Hi" to them for me.

Well Joyce, it is indeed me (adam). Although I usually swallowed them down, I never really liked peas. Ruth prediction was right that the grandmas would feel sorry for John! Yeah Grandmas!
ReplyDeletewe love you guys!
What a priceless picture! That's one to keep for when he starts dating :)
ReplyDeleteSo, what is the difference between a casserole and a hot-dish? That is the perpetual question! The dish sounds amazing, mmmmm!
ReplyDeletePat says he feels the same way when he has to eat peas. Runs in the family! Great pictures.Glad to hear that John & Laura are visiting. Hugs from us to all (especially the little star of the show). Ruth,have a fantastic birthday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you even make him try peas??? We all hate peas!!! Poor baby John! Have a great mini-reunion and Happy Birthday to Ruth!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile most commented on the peas, I will comment on the grocery question of how many can you fit in a backpack and your bike. I would guess that it's slightly less than what you can fit in a backpack and haul on a MetroTransit bus:) I know from experience, grocery shopping in bulk is not fun without a car!

When he's older, you can make him eat peas using the method my siblings used to make me eat their lima beans: tell them that they will make him strong like Pop-eye!
ReplyDeleteHaha...lima beans and peas! Lil' John is adorable in this picture :) I'm so happy to be back!
ReplyDeleteThe look of abject terror at such a horrific prospect is... priceless.
