La Chandeleur in French. The only thing I know about this holiday is that it's crêpe day. That is, people traditionally eat crêpes on this day. We've been following that tradition for years. We make buckwheat crêpes with ham, mushrooms, cheese, and eggs as the main course, then follow up with sweet crêpes for dessert.We didn't do the sweet ones this year. Neither one of us had the energy thanks to this cold we've had.
I know Ken posted his photo of this earlier in the week. Just in cased you missed it...
My watch batteries have been replaced! The jewelry shop in Montrichard was good, except that there was a line when I went in and I had to wait about twenty minutes before the shop owner got to me, then two minutes to have the batteries done.
Thanks for all of your recommendations. I, too, used to go to a shopping mall when in the states where a stand sold watches and did battery replacements. It's been gone for years now, pre-covid, and since then I've been going to the local jewelry shop here in Saint-Aignan, now also gone. I wonder if someone else will reopen it?
It's such a shame when small shops close down, adding to the general air of decline in our towns.
ReplyDeleteYour crêpe looks delicious. In the UK we have pancake day, which is Shrove Tuesday or March 4th this year. I used to look forward to it so much as a child, mum making huge stacks of pancakes in the kitchen for the four of us, taking in turns to eat them one at a time as they were done. It was such a treat compared to the normal routine of "tea" after school - which we would now call dinner or supper!
I love national crepe day. Got into crepes in San Francisco. But my favorites were the sweet ones.
