beautiful day. went for my daily morning run with maynard, but stopped first at the marché. bought 3 kilos of scallops (including the shells – which will actually only serve 3 people) and a kilo of fresh peas. then i did what i see french people do all the time. i asked the vendor if i could leave my bag with him for half an hour. no problem! so i ran off with maynard without carrying around an extra 8 pounds of weight and came back to pick it up afterwards.
p and i went to breakfast in cafe. i had the “english breakfast” = fried eggs and canadian style bacon, croissant, buttered baguette, big coffee.
jj is at sleepover; went to see an apt in the same area. for dinner i fried the scallops and then made a new attempt to replicate the italian fresh peas and pasta. i cooked the peas slightly more, and then pureed some, adding a little pasta water to make it more saucy. of course, there was garlic and olive oil and parmesan. the family thought it was pretty good, but it still wasn’t as good as italy. i think it’s the peas. really.
