Ours was a busy and very warm weekend, the weather experts said that we have having the weather that we normally get in June.  Yesterday morning was spent hunting for antiques at a local market, sadly we did not find a lot but we were happy to admire the collection of 2 CV's on display. This one is called Juliette, what a cutie she is. Vintage cars are highly sought after in France and the prices continue to rise. A fun and fabulous piece of French history...

A croque-madame is a variation on the croque-monsieur, a French twist on grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Made with crème fraiche rather than béchamel, this classic variation of croque monsieur is delicious and super quick to make.
