yep, my favourite vegetable is back to being a part of the weekly menu chez nous <\/em> because 1. the price is normal (99c per ‘stuk’ instead of 3.99\u00e2\u201a\u00ac each!) and 2. they are in their prime and packed with deliciousness! They featured in last night’s meal as the obligatory entr\u00c3\u00a9e followed by baked salmon fillets glazed with a mustardy dressing, pan-fried asparagus and steamed rice. And since our dining table is covered with my papers and props these days, our meals are devoured from the comfort of the sofa. So the photograph above is my exact view of our meal as it arrived on the coffee table. Can you tell I’m slumped from exhaustion? What better way to relax and spend a summer’s evening than chilling back with a glass of wine and an artichoke? I have no idea. Nothing, in my opinion. Did I cook this meal, you might ask? No, but I did ‘design’ it, if that counts for anything. French Boy does all the cooking lately as my workload has grown to ‘barely manageable’. He assures me he loves to cook after his long day at work. And since he can’t lie to save his life, I believe him, his eyes do tell all. It does seem I’ve found the ideal man, n’est-ce pas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is the song<\/a> I am loving right now, and perfectly accompanies the image above. Thank you Itsasne. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
