A day in the life of a French family

I love the French style of living....
it centers around family, friends and food.

While spending a few days not far from the village of Laguepie, my sister and I hosted a lunch for long time friends.  As everything is also bought fresh daily, we headed to a nearby village to buy what we needed for our meal.

 

I even found some duck confit to take home with me!

We started off with a selection of pate, saucisson
 and freshly picked, tangy radishes....

 .....followed by a traditional roast leg of lamb,
roast potatoes and flageolet beans

It was a meal that lasted hours.....

 The final courses were served.....a selection of cheeses

.....with a fruity red....

and....'the piece de resistance'.....fresh strawberries and champagne!

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
