WHO INVENTED SCHOOL HOLIDAYS?


By Desperate Anglo Housewives : Bordeaux (Visit website)



Love the kids but sometimes run out of steam by the second week of holidays.

Tonight we are going to have one of our favourite ( and easiest!) suppers. Cheese and mixed green salad.







My children are French and they love cheese, all cheese.
My son's first solid piece of food was a piece of Roquefort he grabbed  off the table with his 6 month old chubby fists. He chewed, smiled and gurgled for more.


I firmly believe that, in moderation, cheese is good, very good.


In France we are particularly spoilt for choice.  I have been boycotting the supermarket for years and buy less but better from my local cheese shop.


Spoil your family with 4 or 5 well chosen cheeses served with an enormous green salad. 
Cheese, like most dairy, will also help them fall asleep and sleep well....what more can a mother want!




Roquefort, 
St Nectaire, 
smelly brebis/sheep cheese especially from the Paye Basque ( serve it with black cherry jam ) and if a full brebis is too strong try a cow/sheep mix, 
crottin de chevre/ goat
oozing St  Marcellin,
a good Brie from Meaux,
Cantal de Salers au gros sel,
Appenzeller from Switzerland,
and the list goes on...


One piece of advice -  don't put them in the fridge. Enhance the taste sensation by leaving them covered and out of the fridge until supper.



Great cheese shop to visit in Bordeaux :

Jean d'Alos Fromager-Affineur 4 Rue Montesquieu, 33000 Bordeauxor Cours Portal, 33000 Bordeaux  Marché de Capucins
