Bread + chocolate + books = Mom-Day trifecta
And a recipe for Italian oven fries that are as delicious as they are easy to make
Bonjour! Bonjour!
Mother’s Day in France arrives after American Mother’s Day, so I expect the shops will be filled with chocolates and flowers soon. Maybe there’ll even be Legos! For Valentine’s Day, there were kiosk billboards suggesting your sweetheart might want a bouquet of Lego flowers — a no-go for me since I already have a bunch of Lego flower pots in the house (thank you, Michael).
The bouquet was a cute idea, but maybe not as delicious as chocolate or as sweet as having your family handle breakfast, other traditional gifts for mom’s day. What the Legos had was lastability, a nice quality and one that comes built into one of my favorite gifts for any occasion: Books. I’ve got a trio of books that I think would be great for Mother’s Day and just as good for any other day and anyone else who loves to cook. And I’ve got a cute little idea for tucking chocolate into breakfast and giving mom two gifts in one. I was tickled when it struck me. Yes, I’m easily tickled.
