My good blog-friend Laura, who is an American living and cooking in France, turned me on to a fun activity called Is My Blog Burning, that made me think of several of the folks I read here.

The current challenge is French peasant food, which is why I'm making Cassoulet for eight people in a week and a half. I'm cheating a little, and using chicken instead of duck, goose, or partridge, but other than that, I think it'll be fine.

Anyone reading this is invited to participate.
