Weekend Eats: Oui! Oui!
Jul 16th, 2010
In case you missed it, Bastille Day was celebrated this past Wednesday, July 14th. If you are having trouble conjuring up that 4th grade history lesson, just know this, it’s like the french version of our 4th of July. To carry this theme into the weekend, I thought I would try my hand at some french-inspired food. Those french women swear they scarf down the carbs and still stay thin. Even still, you will find no crepes or croissants here. For the record, I think the real reason french women don’t get fat is because they subsist solely on cigarettes and booze. Enjoy and au revoir for now!
Appetizer: 2004 Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere. Actually any red wine will do. I just thought this name was very French and incredibly hard to pronounce.
Green Bean Tomato Salad. Please make sure to individually french cut each of these beans to stay in the theme.
Main dish: Grilled Nicoise Tuna Steaks. Really can’t get much healthier.
Dessert: Cream Puffs with Chocolate Sauce. Okay, not the healthiest but this recipe is modified to curb some of those extra calories. Or you could opt out of dessert entirely and go smoke a cigarette instead. Oui! Oui!
