Today we decided to check out the local market in Lavaur. It was massive and was held down the center of their downtown strip. Similar to the market in Paris, it had tonnes of clothing, books, housewares, toys and of course lots of food.
I love the way they display some of their prepared foods in these markets, it all looks so delicious. I also hate it for that reason because it makes me so hungry! All these markets seem to have similar stands, one in particular that I like is the roast chicken stand. They have a rack of these whole chickens slow roasting and at the bottom of the rack there is a tray to catch the drippings. In this tray they have chopped up potatoes cooking in all the drippings. What a fabulous idea!
We immediately bought and brought home a roast chicken with potatoes and a rasberry torte and inhaled.
Sad part of today is that Liam seems to have developed a cold. Hopefully it does not progress into anything more than that.
Happy Mothers Day 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to you too! Although in France, they celebrate at the end of the month sometime (perhaps I’ll get two).
