You know you are getting old when food becomes a pleasure... like a garden to some.

But I can't not-share this with you.

The first chanterells are here!

I was going to my neighbourhood grocery when I spotted a woman selling fresh stuff outside the market, like sugar-peas, strawberries, cherries... and chanterells!

I bought some small fresh potatoes (those basically without any skin at all available only now as the season is on), some unsmoked bacon, shallot-onions and cream.

That was heavenly indeed! Just add salt and pepper...

Felt like summer!

In this world of advanced market-economy where you basically can have any ingredient all over the year this kind of things uplift one's mind... This surely can't be done in December!
