Radishes, French Butter & Fleur de Sel

     So simple, so basic, and so good.  Pieces of bread spread with salty French butter, thin slices of crisp, spring radishes, a sprinkling of Fleur de Sel.  This is what I've been making lately -- more radish seeds have just been sown.

 
       A late day appetizer with a frosty glass of rhubarb slush -- or pretend you're in the south of France and pour a glass of Rosé.

     I was fortunate to receive a gift of French salted butter -- picked up for me by a stewardess-friend on her international flights to Paris.  I have been very judicious in its use.  It resides in my freezer and is only pulled for something special, like a baguette with radishes and fleur de sel!
