Back to work.
No use crying over spilled beans.
After all the tea and sympathy for the loss of my oldest cassoulet cassole, I am back on the track... with a few diversions along the way.
Camp Cassoulet begins this week with a jaunt to the Not Freres poterie outside of Castelnaudary. With that goal in mind I decided to load up as many pots as my 2CV will carry. After securing enough pots to throw around, I invite any and all readers within cooking distance to join me All Souls/All Saints weekend (Halloween to you North Americans)- Nov 1-4 for a Cassoulet celebration. The beans are on me!
- Friday night for Soupe de Citrouille with foie gras croutons,
- Saturday morning Market at Nerac for charcuterie and confit,
- Cassoulet Class all afternoon,
- Overnight cookoff in the cheminee,
- Sunday Lunch of ...Cassoulet and Wine
- Sunday supper- Tourain d'Ail
- Monday, sorry back to work.

Do you really live on the boat? I ask because I told my husband that I'd like to live on a yacht on dry land outside the house! Love your site and am learning a few things from it. Thanks :)
Yes, Maryann's husband, I do live on a boat and have a garden too. Sometimes when I feel 85 feet might be big for a boat but small for a house, so I might as well live in a single-wide. Trailer. Other times, I prefer to think of the Julia Hoyt as an upscale gypsy wagon- without wheels. Tonight as I dropped my guests at the front door of the Relais and walked down the garden path to the barge... I just smiled. It's nice having the best of both worlds. Thanks for visiting!
Breaking out my calendar...
This sounds like a deal too good to pass up!
Oh, I wish I could be there. I'll keep this in mind for next year!
Good luck and great photos.
Oh, how I wish I was in France this fall - we spent 3 wonderful weeks last fall - I would had loved to partake in this very fun time! As well, I would love to receive more information about your cooking classes as we try to get over that way at least once a year if not twice!
