@purejuice love the menus you come up with.

Re: Sutton Stracke. I like her. She called out Teddy Mellemcamp for being boring, and she will (from what I've heard) go toe to toe with Erika Giradi against her husband's scam.

I see with horror it actually is June 19, celebrated in America as the day the Workaway volunteers slaves were emancipated.
I'm drilling down on this menu caper because, among many other things, it illustrates how removed the Nevernever Land Lalande cooks are -- SJ, IJ, the Coles, MW, Cat and Nati -- from the locals, the local economy, and the local French farmers' markets, which are famous the world over as the source of the best food to cook.
These menus attempt to represent how real people, and not bubble boys doing taco night in the Dordogne eat. Did you see Shrek's last contribution? Steak and chicken cut into McNuggets for serving.
On Juneteenth, in America, there's a traditional menu served, highlighting the color red.
As modern scholars of African-American foodways have discerned, one thread of black Americans' cookery traces back to Jefferson's 18th century French-trained slave chef James Hemings.
The most iconic modern member of the Monticello school of African-American cooking is Edna Lewis, born in 1916 in Freetown, VA near Jefferson's home.
The elite homes of Virginia, going back to the days when the Colonial elite socialized with French politicians and generals during the Revolutionary War, dined on a cuisine inspired by France. It was built on local ingredients — many originally shared by Native Americans or brought by slaves from Africa — and developed by enslaved black chefs like James Hemings, who cooked for Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. Because this aristocratic strain of Southern cuisine was provisioned and cooked largely by black people, it came into their communities as well, including Freetown.

The chef and author made the case for black Southern cooking as the foundation of our national cuisine. Does she get the credit she deserves?

Here is an Edna Lewis-inspired, French-accented, African-American Juneteenth meal based on what's available in the farmers' markets around Lalande today.

Happy free-at-last day.

Harvard beet salad with goat cheese man goat cheese, farmers’ market lettuces, watercress, orange zest/orange flower vinaigrette
Florida style local wild boar sausage burgers, Lalande honey mustard
Edna Lewis' spoon bread
Edna Lewis' salad of whole tomatoes, scallions and haricot beans with homemade basil mayonnaise
Edna Lewis’ featherlight rolls
Traditional Juneteenth strawberry slab pie with a peppered pastry crust
Traditional hibiscus iced tea (jamaíca in Spanish markets) with or without rum

What's in season in the farmers' market near Lalande today:

I too just heard about the dressy affair tomorrow at the SHITOO from Dan's vlog (which I enjoy.)
What could that be about???

Engagement announcement???
Fanny is making everyone dress up as herself in full bridal attire and BJJ in his hippy bridegroom get up.

Horrible thought just went thru my mind!!!!!
Fanny won't show up in that stupid peacock get up will she????

Maybe there will be a REAL wedding tomorrow??????? Nah!

 

[chillijam]

Where does this marquis de tandoori post? I haven't seen, and can't find any? Quite elusive.

I'm looking forward to the party tomorrow, I don't expect it's for any reason other than there hasn't been one for at least two minutes and tra-la that's reason enough. Theme? Can't be bothered to have a property guess but it was international sushi day on Friday, so they could all come as their favourite nigiri .

I should say I'm looking forward it for Dan's coverage, not Fanny's, it could be very illuminating given a few of his excellent comments on his daily vlogs so far.

I have a feeling Gwen told Sir Methrick ‘no gifts please’ and I mean it. Can you imagine all of the crap people will still send? And the new bebe is beautiful! Much cuter than SJ’s curly headed Dutch baby!

 

[Joy no toile]

Again remiss, working. Have to watch previous vlogs, woe is me. Marie is busy doing b&b florals. What happened to the wedding she is supposed to cater to?

Is there some kind of strange filter being applied? Everything outside the window looks fake.

I have to apologize but I dont get why this is here. Whats the point? What does this have to do with anything. I was born and raised in the US. This sounds like you googled it.

I really do have to apologize. I had to reread it a couple of times to realize you're really complementing a great American cook. America has amazing cooks in every color and ethnicity. It truly is a melting pot. Home cooks don't need to prove anything to anyone that they have not already proven to their families and friends who set down to sup at their tables. That's the truth. I have eaten at amazing world-renowned restaurants by well-known chefs that could learn from some great home cooks. The best food I have ever eaten has been cooked by my mom of course. She was born and bred in the Appalachian region of America. Half native Indian and Half French

 

[notanangel]

Is there some kind of strange filter being applied? Everything outside the window looks fake.

On Instagram, there are filters you can choose from before you post a photo and it looks as though that is what someone did. Everything is brighter than normal. Maybe so that the fabric on the chaise looks brighter (cleaner) than it really is in reality?

 

[Jeeves]

I have to apologize but I dont get why this is here. Whats the point? What does this have to do with anything. I was born and raised in the US. This sounds like you googled it.

I thought I had somehow stumbled on a different forum aimed at gourmands, restaurant critics or TV cooks. Why are we suddenly seeing these fantasy menus popping up throughout the Chateau Diaries threads of late? I get the initial response to FRK's offerings to the B &B guests as we have long commented on her lack of culinary talent but why the need for an African/American inspired menu for a French Chateau, prepared by a Norwegian cook with no catering credentials?

 

[MsPitstop]

I have a feeling Gwen told Sir Methrick ‘no gifts please’ and I mean it. Can you imagine all of the crap people will still send? And the new bebe is beautiful! Much cuter than SJ’s curly headed Dutch baby!

Where did you see the photo of the bebe?

I should say I'm looking forward it for Dan's coverage, not Fanny's, it could be very illuminating given a few of his excellent comments on his daily vlogs so far.

I really like the content too. His filming and editing skills are really improving. PLUS: it gives us a nearly up-to-date timeline on what is happening at Lala Lande; ie SJ seen filming the pipes being fixed; that a party was happening Saturday - so SJ will have to keep up with him, and not jig around with the timeline.

 

[sillymilly]

Where did you see the photo of the bebe?

He is in Sadie's last Vlog!

It's not about menus at all. It's a riposte to the stealth reactions of the zero messages zero reactions @Marquise de Tandoori who is stalking here.
Proud to think that what I wrote myself, in my own words, and with my own legwork, sounds as if I Googled it. Thank you. More people should.
Here's a book I Googled, now own, and have read. You'd enjoy it.

There is an ignore feature if her reactions bother you! There have been people "stalking" for 42 threads, I really can't see why newcomers are getting worked up over Tandoori's reactions.
