I always enjoy reading your comments.<BR/><BR/>Judy - our favorite dessert was the one with four things at Le Petite France. <BR/><BR/>Patti - I've tried to research where decorating the plates with drizzles from squeeze bottles originated, but haven't had any luck. Anyone know?<BR/><BR/>Joie de vivre - the lapin recipe is on the way to you by separate email. We used grainy mustard (they call it Ancienne I think) because we couldn't find plain Dijon in the supermarket in France. Your son is very adventuresome and that's terrific.<BR/><BR/>Marie - I would love to know where you attended cooking classes. We would love to do that someday.<BR/><BR/>Katherine - we've made the lapin at home and it was (thankfully) much better than our first attempt. If you overcook rabbit, it is tough, which is probably what we did the first time we made it.<BR/><BR/>SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-42435808300759953432009-03-16T09:17:00.000-04:002009-03-16T09:17:00.000-04:00What a lovley trip and I don't balem your husband ...What a lovley trip and I don't balem your husband for sampling the dessert before photographing it!
