Encore une laitue est morte. 🥬 🇫🇷 🥬

Yes and in fact Tesco's on the bakery section (not the shelves) are ok too.

Agreed Allira.
I think Macron will (have to) resign sooner rather than later.

It will get to a stage soon where there's no one left for him to choose as his Prime Minister!

I think if Lecornu is more inclusive towards the other parties then he may stand a chance of forming a government. Edouard Philippe, who was our Prime Minister during Covid is pushing Macron to announce an earlier Presidential election, but I still think it is unlikely, with the international situation in such a fragile state. I think the media in the UK do not always make it clear that it is the President who is responsible for foreign policy.

This is as a joke by the way!

How did Macron get LeCornu to un-resign?
Perhaps Emmanuel told LeCornu that he'd get Brigitte to whack him one if he wouldn't do it......

Re the lettuces we've a lovely good-quality vegetable shop here in SW France. The lettuces look lovely and fresh when we buy them but they still seem not to last long....🥬

Re croissants, France's postal service appears to be issuing a croissant-scented stamp to commemorate an anniversary of some sort.....🥐🥐🥐
Sounds like an April fool ...

How about les choux-fleurs down your way Labradora? They were looking super in Brittany when I left. I brought two back home. My French fiancé always called me his petit chou-fleur!

Yes, it was in The Times about the croissant smelling stamps. Bring it on!

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess how Macron persuaded Lecornu. 🙈 😆

Not a dead lettice after all. Lecornu has survived the vote of no confidence brought by Le Pen's party of the right, because the left did not support it. This is because the controversial pension reforms have been put off until 2027, after the next Presidential election.

A revived lettuce!

We buy Romaine lettuce, if it starts to wilt I cut the end off the stalk and stand the lettuce in a glass of cold water, like you would with fresh flowers.
After a day or so the leaves are firm again and it lasts a lot longer 🙂

It should be pointed out that this is not a technique recommended for reviving French Prime Ministers.
😂😂😂😂😂

Mamie indeed there are better ways to revive them 🍷

You never know !!
Lettuce revival tips noted V3ra.
I'll certainly look at the choux-fleurs, Escaped.
We've got vegetarian visitors at the end of the month. I might be able to persuade OH to cook a cauliflower cheese.
Msr LeCornu has survived two "no confidence votes" already.
They think he might hang on until Xmas.
🤞🤞🤞😊

We have excellent cauliflower and Romanesco here in Normandy at the moment.
