Pas poubelle

Une autre example……I had thought to myself that one principle for how to live here would be to attempt to not waste any food. It just wouldn’t seem right. With these good intentions, still there came the morning I placed in the kitchen trash can half a baguette that had grown rock hard with neglect. I did pause for a moment… maybe I can make croutons, crostini……nahhh. Soon after that, Astou led me into the kitchen and produced the crusty item. “Not trash” I translated from her plea for decent behavior. Pas poubelle. If you ever think of throwing food away, donnez a moi, she gently but firmly corrected. Ohhhhh I felt bad for that one. She was so right.
