I don’t truly know in the event that they eat barley like this in Morocco however I doubt it. Google / Wiki tells me it’s extra generally utilized in soups and stews, with barley flour utilized in breads.

It’s frequent right here in France and we (I) like it.

Similar to cooking and consuming differ between international locations and areas, so do ‘comfort’ meals. One doesn’t discover pre-cut greens or a giant assortment of meals-in-a field / can right here, one does discover a formidable array of instantaneous mashed potatoes, quick-cooking barley, and plenty of totally different quick (not instantaneous) varieties of rice. There may be additionally a variety of ready-to-use pastries within the fridge part.

As to this recipe – the stir-fry has Moroccan flavors… put it on barley or rice or couscous or no matter you want.

We attended the annual New Yr occasion within the village final night time.

It is a ceremony held in each village and metropolis in France. The entire residents are invited, the mayor offers a speech outlining the accomplishments of the previous yr and the targets / plans for the present yr. A celebratory drink (wine or apple juice) is served, together with a couple of nibbles, and an excellent time is had by all. There are a couple of chairs however, principally, everybody stands and mingles.

We haven’t gone prior to now as a result of we assumed that all the pieces can be in French (it was) and we might perceive little or no (or, in actuality, virtually nothing).

The speeches got in fast French and I understood about each fifth phrase however not quick sufficient to lace them collectively to type a coherent thought. Sadly, after the primary quarter-hour or so, one simply begins to tune all of it out and begin evaluating shoe types of the folks standing nearest. (There was a man in entrance of me in shorts and sandals, no socks. Temp was -3C, 26F.)

The French dialog with the locals was okay, however that’s usually restricted to greetings, how have been the vacations / household, and many others.

We did be taught that France is altering refuse disposal procedures. At present now we have 1 bin that we put all recyclables in (now we have a listing) and one other that we put all the pieces else in. We’re inspired to compost all the pieces appropriate for compost for use within the potager (vegetable backyard).

That’s altering this yr and we’re informed that we should compost ALL meals waste. Anybody who’s a critical gardener is aware of that one doesn’t put animal waste (bones, meat scraps, cheese, and many others. ) within the backyard compost. It doesn’t break down correctly, just isn’t good for rising greens, and encourages rats.

Gardeners (everybody) usually are not comfortable. An answer has not been provided.

The unhealthy information is that the brand new guidelines have been efficient Jan.1 2024 and fines will likely be imposed for non-compliance.

The excellent news is that despite the fact that nobody is aware of what to do, it’s the duty of the village to supply options and means. It’s the village that will likely be fined and chances are high superb that nobody goes to be digging into particular person bins to examine.

Aside from bones now we have little or no meals waste. We’ve a canine.
