How do three Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in rural southwestern France?No turkey. No cranberry sauce. No green bean casserole (for that I am thankful!) No pumpkin pie.For our Thanksgiving in Gascony, Kate, Carol and I spent the morning at the market in Éauze, spent the afternoon tasting Armagnac and after un p'tit apéro when we got home, whipped up a simple, yet festive meal of Chestnut Soup, Duck Legs with Prunes, cheese from the Pyrénées and Fromageon Gascon spread on toasted fig bread.What a perfect da

Don't people care about the baby cows anymore?Husband adores veal. He waxes lyrical about the Veal Milanese he used to enjoy in Italian restaurants in New York, so on the rare occasion that we go out to lunch and veal is on the menu, he always orders it.Recently, I had moment of weakness.Living in France changes the way you look at meat.
