St Galmier

 It's a beautiful town in the Auvergne Rhone Alpes.  Quite different to other places in France.  It has an almost Italian look about it.  









          The road where our air bnb was located was full of very large semi Italian styled homes.




       If you ever get the opportunity to try hay syrup, jump at it.  It is DELICIOUS.  Indescribably so in 
       fact.  This was served with thick yoghurt as part of a tasting dessert at the charming little restaurant
       Carre Buffet, in Saint Galmier.  It is made with hay, sugar and lemon juice.  That's all.  Yum.


              The gorgeous very very VERY good wee young dog (American Shepherd Juanitz thinks) 
               at our bnb.  He was just a youngster and still puppyish but oh so good.  This is taken while 
               we are eating and he never came near but he just looked at us with his big hungry eyes.  


                             I bought a whole heap of tomatoes, they were so fresh and cheap.


                           And made a very very delicious pasta dish with some of them and basil 
                           from the air bnb garden which I served with a green bean (again from 
                           their garden) tomato and basil salad.  I brought some aged mimolette 
                           which is one of the tastiest cheeses on the planet (it HAS to be aged).
