This episode was very spiritual. I miss my grandparents too. My grandmother cultivated roses at her farm while raising 8 kids and growing most of their food with my grandfather. They developed and exported a particular sweet and large mango variety to the US that was named after herself in the 1940s. All their children went to college. I think the way you are living is so wholesome and all your work and efforts are the best for your children's future. I am not a farmer per se. I live and love in a city big city, but my heart is happiest when I can smell the grass, the fruits, and the flowers and wear a straw hat.

As always I enjoyed my visit with you today even though we are continents apart. The scenery and the colors are breathtaking and your sweet personally is always a pleasure to be with. Thank you for sharing and hopefully the zinnas will do well and you will have such pleasant memories of your grandmama.

Marloes, You are amazing.....Your creativity with food and what you cook and prepare is fantastic!!

The scenery you show in your recent video is breath taking.....How lucky you are and I love your cat!!!

Thank you so much! Yes I actually did make a cookbook and I just went to look for the link to it on Amazon and saw they put it on sale at the moment! I don’t know until when that will be as I have no say in that but hope you can benefit from it! www.amazon.com/taste-French-Country-Life-Heartwarming/dp/2487275006/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=31B3YT13Z4K0X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1ZdLRTHCUqi6E88U6_kUaRRjEhke0d9UWId4w5e6H7oGamgmcFh_C7XzPgOvWj1HoZPJdjGRxfhT8XVPxcNhsuTVZdBJzTnxCblMhusKk1eGufjhRokSnm_ULhoL75IZNQqom99LmFCxoT0PTFvpP5022BjiPJMcXSyi0gQ3SMfw6oHAadkCqBz5ekb_c8errOEv_OdQx_9Lio8YCQOjyw.ktmXc2Wj2UxKr-kI_NqL4Dgr8sNBfnPZ7zNpA8-yfrA&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+taste+of+french+country+life&qid=1714150789&sprefix=%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1

Oh, this is lovely. You make wonderful meals for your guests but I confess I could not eat anywhere near as much as you prepare. I see you are cooking for two but each person’s meal would feed me for more than a day. And the charcuterie store, and the cheeses! Oh my! Such abundance! Beautiful countryside.

Yes I make the meals quite big hoping they can save some for lunch as well if it’s too much 😇

Zennias are the easiest flowers to grow. Just sew the seeds around the end of May and in a couple of weeks they will start to come upm you don't have to start inside. I order my seeds from American Meadows online. And they last year to year kept in a tightly closed jar in a dark closet (Insde of course). Good luck!

@FrenchCountryLife 19 күн бұрын

Thanks! Yes I know I can just sow them in the garden but the birds sometimes pick them up or the wind blows them away and I wanted to be sure which ones were grandma’s ones as I am going to put it other ones as well. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to distinguish them afterwards. Thanks for sharing though!

@user-my9tf6wx7h 18 күн бұрын

It might be easier to grow the special varieties directly in the ground you can put up markers and then transplant them .. at least that way you have more that might survive.. I’m not much of a gardener. I’ve just learned from trial and error 😊 love your videos. They’re so informative and wonderful and just so relaxing!!

The cows are so different from what I see in the Northeast of the US. I don’t know of any place within hours of travel that have so few cars on the road. Most of the towns once quiet have fallen to development as suburbia spreads north each year. Your home, food, environment and disposition are so tranquil and beautiful. Thank you for a relaxing view into your life.💗.

It's always refreshing to see cooks who know when enough is enough with garnishes and allow the food to be upfront and present. Just beautiful.

Tant que les "saints de glace" ne seront pas passés le temps sera incertain et surtout il y aura risque de froid et de gelées (11 - 12 et 13 mai). Alors patience ! vous me donnez envie de manger du fromage et de la charcuterie avec du pain de campagne bien croustillant et un bon vin de Bourgogne 🤪 Mon grand-père était bourguignon !!

Love your videos. Love the earthenware vessels. Re brocante shopping, please show more copper pots, and cast iron pots. I use plain cast (no enamel) at home, but am interested in enameled, too. Plan to buy in Perpignan, so am very interested in this ‘pré-shopping’. You have great ideas.
