All those raw ingredients were regularly transformed into delicious meals,

both gourmet, including a Michelin starred restaurant,

and rustic! Including the iconic Swiss Raclette meal, where slabs of raclette cheese are toasted under a grill at the table and spread over boiled potatoes and served with meats and pickled vegetables! Yummy!!

Vegetables!

We visited the local Farmer’s Market and reveled in the midst of all the colorfully vibrant fruits and vegetables!The market is held behind the “Halle de Rive”, a fantastic marketplace occupying the full first floor of a downtown building, specializing in all kinds of gourmet foods! Check it out HERE!

Meats & Fish!

Cheeses!

From April 28 to May 9 we visited our friends Raymonde & Michel in Geneva, Switzerland!

We flew into London Heathrow airport on our way to Geneva and enjoyed a beautiful view of the countryside outside London. It was great to return to the land of REALLY Happy cows in Switzerland!

We enjoyed walks around the neighborhood in Vandoeuvres outside Geneva, the miniature ponies in a pasture near our friends house, and a beautiful view of the full moon over the alps on an evening stroll.

A light dusting of snow unfortunately won’t compensate for the poor, low snow pack in the mountains. It’s going to be a HOT, DRY summer!

We attended the No Kings Protest March today, with thousands of like-minded patriots!

Including George & Martha Washington and the Statue of Liberty, crying bloody tears!
