Still clearing out the refrigerator… I was feeling pretty bummed, then I found some frozen sausages we bought in Moutiers! Phew! I also found some frozen, par-baked french bread which I baked and it tasted fresh and yeasty! Dinner was going to be pretty well after all 🙂

I made pan-seared French “Grillers” with balsamic glazed, caramelized onions and garlic with a crusty baguette generously smeared with dijon mustard, and a salad with balsamic vinaigrette and Chevrotin. We’re on our last bottle of wine- Emergency! It was a very nice Savoie region Mondeuse – nutty, with hints of fresh grape and subtle red fruits (think raspberry, strawberry, and red current). Yum! Not bad for scraping up the last bits!!! We do not feel deprived, in fact, we may be feeling a heart attack coming on 😉
