Paris Day Three Baugette 101

You all have seen baugettes at the local Sprouts or Safeway..They are a staple food here. They did turn quite amusing on Day Three. You see today was the big day that the Bradfords Container of household goods and furniture was to arrive..They deflated the air mattresses and made ready for the 20 or so helpers that were coming to unload the 40ft container.. Well as they say " don't count your chickens before they hatch" or we should say don't buy your baugettes before the company comes..Yes they needed just ONE more paper ..after sending many before to please the government officals..SO here we were with 15+ baugettes and food for the troops..

Have you ever eaten a baugette on day two,,of course not. The only thing they are good for is home building material!! But we could not bear to waste the precious bread so it was time to get creative..

Now day one we managed to have lovely ham and cheese sandwiches au baugette..Then we had wonderful egg salad au baugette..How about just plain baugette au berre ..for a snack..Then nutella and jelly on baugette for breakfast,, We were beginning to have great sympathy for the Isrealites and their manna fests,, Next we created a lovely Baugette French Toast..Now remember , I am trying to swear off carbs an lose a few pounds..but the thought of wasting a single ounce made me sad .. Dinner they hosted pizza toppings to explore our more creative side,..Mine was ham, pepper , pineapple onion and cheese.. We now tossed an baugette salad with tomato and cucumber . and my all time favorite Weinie in a baugette. The boys drilled a large hole in the middle and screwed in the hot dogs slattered in ketchup.. marveous..

The neighbors are having a wild party next door..I have concidered crashing with an armful of the long treats..Who would not appreciate such a gift..But when they broke into a loud rendition of Twinkle Twinkle en francais I had second thoughts,,They just turned up the music to deafening..I honestly think the song is about Jesus...HMMMMM interesting....

So we are hoping for more suggestions for the use of a baugette..for our cookbook.. "Baugette on a Budget" 101 meals under 5 E. E is Euro..

I hope you are all wonderful..I miss you and Love you!! Judi
