Spinach give strengh to Popeye, I didn't like them when I was young but now I like to eat them with ham and a Madeira sauce.
Have you ever try : spinach muffins or spâtzle?
Pas fan des épinards étant petite mais je les ai redécouverts et appréciés plus tard en branches avec du jambon et de la sauce Madère.
Restent à découvrir les muffins et les spâtzles.
Thank you for showing us so many works.

I liked the shop’s signboard because it was very fashionable.😆
ell, I was completely lost this week! I do love all the pictures you find to share with us and the different themes! The thistles are great as are the Lorraine themed designs. I am not a fan of spinach LOL
