Back in France for the holidays visiting mom, pops and company. This morning we all hoped on the metro and made our way to the Marché Aligre near the Gare de Lyon (open 7 days a week) to seek out oysters. While we were there I took a photo of some mâche (lamb's lettcue) thinking I would blog about its many virtues. But then, well, I caught sight of some pretty irresistible looking carrots basking in the warm winter sun – some beautiful lychees from madagascar; prosciutto di parma; olive oil from algeria, italy and france; dorade rose and coquilles st. jacques from normandy; boar legs; etc, etc, etc – and started clicking away. As for the oysters, well, leave it to the camera to run out of juice. Hundreds of people, vendors shouting out prices and telling clients that vitamins will bring them beautiful children. Enough said.
