People of Paris #5… Gizzards and Potatoes

Hungry?  Try some chicken gizzards and Noirmoutier potatoes, the “Rolls Royce” of potatoes, named for the French region it is grown. There’s no doubt as to who is in charge of this business found in the Paris Farmers’ Market.

Summer on the prairie

This time of year finds the prairie grasses blooming with the splendor of the season.  Children of the prairie, I believe, lead somewhat of a “charmed” life filled with textures beneath their toes, fireflies lighting up the night and the soothing sounds of frogs croaking in the night.

Ahhhh… summer.
