Bonjour et bienvenue!
So, it's day 4 of my French adventure and I'm just about 'trouver mes pieds'. Antibes is beautiful and I'm loving exploring the cute little alleys, coffee shops and local sights (there is a Mango...whoop). My over-enthusiasm for French supermarches has also come out in full force and I think the security man in Monoprix is wondering why the strange English girl comes in looking so happy every day! (though I did have a little very English strop out of Carrefour today when nothing was happening very quickly at all).
Here are a few of the foodie finds that made me smile (many of which reminded me of summer camping trips and holidays to gites in Normandy)

| You can't beat Bonne Maman jam on French toasts |
|
 |
| Courgettes rondes - apparently a traditional recipe is to stuff them and roast with a mix of onion, anchovies, egg, parmesan and a little bread. Yum! |
 |
| I don't usually get excited about tomatoes but...how pretty! | |
|

 |
Good to see I can get Agave syrup for my porridge
 |
| Seriously? Crustless bread! In the land renowned for baguettes?! Disappointing. |
My favourite find has to be ready-made galettes (buckwheat pancakes) - so now I can have them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner (if I wanted to, not that I would of course..)
I'll be back soon with some new French recipes and tales of my vie en France!
