I'm always surprised by the things I find in my area. Even after living here for 3 years I'm still learning about new places that are right in my backyard.
Today C & I went to an artisanal market at a local Abbaye. I was actually surprised by how nice it was. There were a lot of vendors selling jewelry, books, flowers, artwork and of course food.
Everything was delicious and I wanted to take it all home with me. What was really wonderful were all the samples you could taste. Probably the most interesting product I tasted was a pâté made with chicken (if I understood correctly) with some jam. It was really good. So what did I buy? Dark chocolate cookies along with another cookie that is similar to a butter cookie but with chocolate chips, a range of soft cheeses (that right more cheese... like I really needed more after my trip to Gouda! lol!), truffles, strawberries, and a dark chocolate spread.
When I asked C what he liked most about the market he told me the fishing. The local Rotary Club organized a range of games for the children. It was really cool to see all the games they put together. The children could golf, use the bouncy castle, throw balls to hit a pyramid of cans, and fish for ducks. C did great and was able to catch 4 ducks. Way to go C!
