Is that sausage a "rosette"?? A staple of Lyon's gastronomy! I grew up in Villefranche sur Saône, near Lyon... Hmm St Marcellin !!!! Of the things I miss from France (I now live in Santa Cruz, CA) those kind of cheeses and other unpasterized and aged ones top my list... But we do have a great cheese shop in town though, I won't complain, but hey, it's not the same, and it's okay Sandrine.

I had no plans to cook and figured I would let the experts do that. I did go to Paul Bocuse. Even Ladurée didn't have that great a variety of macarons.
