Potage

I tend to be a bit ambivalent with regard to the Francophone world. Unlike say Italy, it is a universe of which I have only seen glimpses. While I have been to Paris maybe 3-4 times and to the Mediterranean coast more often than that, I always feel somewhat out of my depth. This goes as much for the cuisine as for the language (just try to pronunce "Boissonneault" while looking cool). Still, today I made potage with goat cheese and sunflower kernels accompanied by a Petit Chablis from the old world version of “Saint Clair”. Whatever qualms I may have had, I am happy to report that the final result was much appreciated!
