The blueberries must have made a nice addition. I’ll have to keep that in mind if I try this one again.

That spread is beautiful and so inviting, a great way to celebrate Bastille Day. If I ever use ginger again I will certainly be sure to peel it. Just being a senior citizen doesn’t prove you know
everything. I think I have learned more about cooking this past year since joining FFWD.
Tricia and I have had lots of fun making these recipes, and lots of laughs too.

The tall stem wine glass with the colourful soup looks stunning.

Cold soup in the summer is a nice treat. I left the wine out since my son was having some.
