Easter Monday we went on a drive around Vincennes to Provins, a medieval village located about 100km from Vincennes.
After arriving we climbed toward the medieval village on the hilltop where we stopped for a picnic. I have learnt a number of new ways of making or presenting salads which are quite useful. For example, a simple salad of mangetout, tiny frankfurter sausage pieces, tomato, little bit of garlic and a light red wine vinegar. Another is a fennel salad with grilled salmon. Chop the fennel coursely, onion, garlic, finely grated carrot. Cook the onion first until soft, remove from the pan, next cook the fennel, remove, garlic and carrot and then mix together again with a simple red wine vinegar. Delicious, light and healthy.
We are about to head out to look for some flowers and card so will continue this in the next post.
