Bistrot La Minette's travelogue
Peter Woolsey, chef/owner of Bistrot La Minette (623 S. Sixth St.), is currently vacationing on holiday in France, visiting the colorful family of his Burgundian photographer wife Peggy and updating a very well-written blog on his restaurant's site. Head over to peruse Woolsey's musings on handmade couscous, prepared for him by his wife's sister's boyfriend's grandmother (above); the story of Peggy's parents, who ran bakeries for nearly 40 years; and his thoughts on why French folks simply understand food and nutrition better than Americans:
Kids are taught to eat well from an early age. not only are the school meals three courses with rabbit eel and calfs liver being part of the weekly menu but food is part of the curriculum. My wife learned about wine regions and production when she was in middle school as part of the basic curriculum. I learned about the food pyramid, the dumbest way of explaining food and proper nutrition. Why in the US can we not lead by example? No wonder rest stops are full of crap. Of course that is what you want to eat if you grew up with pizza, hamburgers, and chicken fingers.
