Lucy and I had lunch at this great little place called l'Epicérie. They specialise in tartines. A tartine is basically a slice of bread spread or covered with something (usually butter or jam); this restaurant specialises in all kinds of tartines. This one was "confiture d'oignons aux gingembre et terrine de pintade"; - candied onion and ginger with a guinea fowl terrine

I went on a quick walk around the block; to get some fresh air and sunshine. This was my favourite photo of the few I took. I loved the combination of the sign with the flower boxes and the sky reflected in the windows

abandoned - Feb 1, originally uploaded by scrappyfran.

It's been well over a year since I did any knitting or crocheting. My yarns and needles have been neglected for way too long. So this month I will take up this craft again. I do need a fun new scarf!
