Off to France on a Cooking Adventure

It seems like every day I am counting my blessings. I honestly think I am one of the luckiest people on this planet. This week I am off to France to teach a cooking class at one of my favorite places, aux Jardins des Thevenets. I love France, French Food, French Wine, the French Language and of course the French People.
What did Meryl Streep say in the recent film, Julie & Julia? Oh yes, "They eat French Food everyday here!" Me too!

I thought I would post the menu we will be preparing so you can all salivate.
