Gone with the Mistral
With barely enough time to recover from the Victoria trip—maybe not enough time—Melissa and I are off to Provence until September 18. My mom and I will be hitting the markets and cooking the entire time, much to the enjoyment of Melissa and my mom's husband. Melissa and I will also be touring around wineries in Bandol, including the famous Domaine Tempier. I've been too busy to sell stories in advance of this trip, but hopefully I will after I return. Either way, some of the trip will show up here once we're back.
Be sure to come on by after September 18.
