I’m back in France, drove down the entire length of Le Hexegone yesterday with brother-in-law Colm to do some painting in Le Presbytere
Not a crunb in the house of course so today went and did some shopping.

I discovered that the fruit and veg are wonderful here at the moment and very cheap ( probably due to the warm early summer we are having ; it is 35 C today on the terrace)
One box of Apricots (40 in the box) cost me €4.50.
Half Kg super sweet local Cherries cost €1.55
A Large Aubergine, a Courgette and a Large Red Pepper along with a kilo of vine tomatoes came in at under a Euro and 5 litres of my favourite local Rosé was €9, or about €1.50 a bottle.

Todays Apricots ready to be poached gently for tomorrows breakfast (and for breakfast for most of next week)
They will be poached until tender in stock syrup and then eaten with some zero fat fromage frais which I will lightly sweeten and flavour with vanilla syrup.

Cheap and healthy.
