    look at all those gorgeous veges, those artichokes look wonderful!! hmmm braised... in a chicken and English spinach salad with some lovely aged Balsamic --- YUMM!!

    Hope you are well Vicki, and thank you for popping in now and then to visit my blog, it really means so much to me!! - My absolute favorite book ever ever ever (if you say it three times then it is even more true!) is your "My French Life", I have read it over 50 times from cover to cover ....and kind of get lost in the pictures imagining that my family lived there too..... I hope that doesn't sound.. LOL!!
    Have a great weekend chick and stay safe
    Hugs

    How envious am I .... such gorgeous produce. That is one thing I miss here in Las Vegas, the markets. We do have our own garden,but still not the same. I ust got your book, it is an absolute treasure, so gorgeous, and your story is wonderful. I am taking my time, savouring it!
    I trust you will have a delicious green feast!
    Have a lovely weekend,
    Nathalie

    That asparagus looks delicious - unfortunately none to be found in Melbourne at the moment! And I think I'd like a vase of those artichokes just so I sit & draw them!! Have a wonderful weekend, with lots of beautiful, green food. Lee :)

    Oh dear Vicki, I'd thought I'd stumbled across MOTH's secret blog for a moment, until I saw the word WEEKEND! His blog would be titled 'I am thinking about food 24hrs. a day'! He hasn't earnt the title of human seagull for nothing. When the kids where living at home, they had to 'ride shotgun' on each others half-emptied plates at dinner to protect it from MOTH's beady eyes & light fingers ready to snaffle left-overs in a nanosecond.

    Love all your green vegie pics - especially the asparagus, my all time favourite green. Have a super weekend enjoying all your market treats.
    Millie ^_^

    Hello Vicki,

    The foods look great, especially the artichokes but the thought of the preparation that pile would require, well .... I'll have a sandwich!
