Perhaps it's the teacher in me, or even the compulsive list-maker, but the thought of a chalkboard wall is enticing: a recipe here, a doodle there.Though in order to make the chalkboard wall all the more appealing, I would want a handwriting makeover. My current chicken scratch would not look like interior decor. It would look like a list-making nut had moved in. While we're pretending, I would request that my handwriting look like that which is ubiquitous on French café menu boards.
If not a whole wall, what about a cabinet or hutch?

A meal always seems more divine when written in that signature French script. I remember going to Les Halles market in Paris as as JYF student and having classic French onion soup at 3:00 a.m. and hearing trucks pull up and the driver shouting, "Les asperges sont arrivees!" Then seeing mountains of fresh asparagus.
ReplyDeleteI also remember asparagus season in Switzerland and going to out dinner to restaurants featuring asparagus with a choice of some twenty sauces written on a board again in that French script like a list of flavors at Baskin Robbins.
We all have our "madeleines" that bring back those special times, shared with friends.
