Those clever wine producers found out that the taste what not the same as old wines with pesticides. So some did start to produce less wines but with some special flowers in the grappes rows to attract some insects and help. <BR/><BR/>That seems to be some new kind of wine over here, but not very popular yet. We've tasted a cider 'bio' but it was digusting ^^ Hopefully the Chardonnay was good !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-41229806265010353422009-01-20T17:25:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:25:00.000-05:00Oooh moules marinières, I haven't eaten that in ye...Oooh moules marinières, I haven't eaten that in years.

We just prefer to make our own. <BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, there have been reports of people falling through the ice here recently, so maybe its not as frozen as people think.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-64353188944296591582009-01-20T01:28:00.000-05:002009-01-20T01:28:00.000-05:00Gee, Europe and North America sure are having a co...Gee, Europe and North America sure are having a cold winter! It's the opposite in many parts of Oz - very, very hot almost every day. I live in a cooler area so it's not so bad here, but it is starting to warm up - we've had three days in a row over 30 degrees Celsius, and had one day of 39 last week - that's over the century for people who use Farenheit.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if a commercial seafood sauce would serve for the avocados? I would never use up the ingredients if I bought them all.Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-68312882768246923352009-01-19T22:13:00.000-05:002009-01-19T22:13:00.000-05:00Just finished the Milk Tart tonight.

I am still trying to find a picture of the French one to send you.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Europe's frozen up ... nice. Paris had snow too, but now it's a tad muggy.<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.
