First of all though, I had to find some salad dressing. In the LeClerc, it all has milk in it. The Carrefour does not, but there’s another supermarket called Coccinelle. That was open and they came up with the business. Cheap and basic, but with no milk, and I can add herbs and spices and some mustard to it. I’m sure that I can make something of it if I try.<\/p>\n
And the guy in the shop said how much he liked my accent. While that’s a compliment, it’s no good in my scheme to passer inaper\u00e7u<\/em> – “pass by unnoticed”.<\/p>\n I’d bought a lovely baguette<\/em> or two last Sunday from the big boulangerie<\/em> near the Tourist Information place and the queue outside the door showed me that I was not the only one to like their bread. So I queued.<\/p>\n it was the right choice too, because sitting on the wall overlooking the harbour at lunchtime, I remarked to myself just how nice this baguette<\/em> was. It’s a shame that it’s such a hike down to fetch it, otherwise I would be down there every day.<\/p>\n As for tea tonight, it’s pizza night of course. And with the oven, while I might not have a pie to bake I went for the rice pudding option. I’ve tasted better, which is no surprise as you can’t buy dessert rice around here, but I’ve also tasted worse too. And there’s enough for another two nights. <\/p>\n I want to get the most that I possibly can out of this oven while it’s running.<\/p>\n And what’s been the plan for today then?<\/p>\n Not a lot, seeing as it’s Sunday. We’ve had the usual crash-out this afternoon, which is a shame, but we’ve had a really good session on the blog. Just a few more days and January 2012 will be complete. And with this new speed-editing facility that I discovered, attacking the modernisation of what I modernised when I first started the modernisation procedure has proceeded apace too.<\/p>\n But tomorrow I have one or two urgent things to do so I need to be on top form.<\/p>\n Early night, anyone?<\/p>\n
