#151B Merry Strawberries, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

Strawberry tea and desserts influenced by...

These lush strawberry tarts made by Patisserie Payard...

At the New York Bastille Day celebration, presented by the Comite de 14 Juillet.

I went early...or so I thought..but there were already a ton of people...

Happily munching on French goodies...madeleines...
Tarte Citrons up the whazooo...
Served up by Patisserie Payard again..but there were many others serving French specialties...
Entertainment too with traditional French accordian music, can can dancers, wine and cheese tasting, pop singers, pantomime...
MACARONS!by Trois Crepes Patisserie bien sur.
Savory tastes too - cornichons and charcuterie from D'Artagnan...
Moules marinere were made on the spot to order. A cup or so of white wine - toss in some chopped parsely, celery and onions. Add about 2 handfuls of mussles, a bit of salt and fresh chopped garlic. Cover for about 5-7 minutes. Shake the pot on occasion...

Merci Petite Abeille!
Et Voila!
YUM / MIAM!
Thank you Asuncion for sending me this appropriate painting by Delacroix.
BONJOUR!
