On the theme of Joasia's reference to Provence, Cassis is a town of that area. A friend of mine was an au pair there between high school and college, very fortunate opportunity !I am going to change to the white.
But it is distressing that these come from Thailand, let alone China. A lot of the new lines offered by Le Creuset do have that look, I admit. Maybe it's only the wonderful cast iron pots and pans which are actually made in France ? These other lines maybe are all made in cheap places. Aha. Thanks for being alert to check that !
PS. Now it's my time to turn the table : what about that organic apple juice ? I am SO suspicious of ANY apples anywhere
unless one grew them on their own tree or someone one knows.
Apples commercially produced just have that feeling of something unhealthy about them. Same with oranges.
Not to toss cold water on your excellent regime, Maria. Just check the origin of those organic apples in the juice. Or the brand, of course.
Yes, most "organic" apple juice now comes from China, where the contaminated water and air leaves much to be desired. With the Dark Act having passed the Congress and now in the Senate, this will not be good as we will not know the origin of our produce or our teas.
p.s. What is really sad, is that almost all topics now involve politics. Almost everything now has political overtones.
However, let's try to keep on topic and avoid politics as much as we can.
