chartreuse












Today's word, from the estimable AWAD folks, is chartreuse!  I have been savoring a wonderful book titled The Auberge of the Flowering Hearth that began for the writer (Roy Andries de Groot), in a question about Chartreuse the liqueur.  The book's reading began for me, in a dish of gougeres in leek bechamel that looked like a painting.  The dish came from here.  The book came from here.

Let's say it together once more:  chartreuse!
