My bf just returned from the cheese shop with Compte, a cow's milk cheese from the region they rode today. Also croissants!

I'm making baguettes today. I just cannot find a good baguette in all of Virginia...so I make my own, which are perfect, of course.
I might invite neighbors over for 14 juillet get-together with wine and cheese. Nothing to do with the Tour, but it would be fun to have a bit of celebration of the Rights of Man and all that. And wine. And cheese. And bread.
I would like to get a French flag for the 14th, but all the flag places around here are strictly stars-and-stripes, cutesy bunnies, or sports teams. I might have to take a trip to DC just to get a simple flag.
+1--can't wait for the mountain stage tomorrow. And I was really happy for Chavanel today. Good for him!!!
Me too - he worked hard and had a wonderful ride - totally deserves to be back in yellow!Quote:

Today I made the Garmin Rice cakes. Hubby finds a stretch of our daily ride to yell, "hey, it's just like (insert current race segment)." Today, we saw sunflowers and I won king of the hill (total of 100 ft climbing--2 rollers--I think DH gave it to me).
The Lance-bashers must have enjoyed today. Youch. I'm hoping he pulls it out on the next stage, though, and reminds us what a hero he is when it comes to climbing these mountains. DH thinks it's time for Levi to take up the helm, though. I'm just excited to watch and learn.
I'm really happy for Andy. He looked so happy today, and deservedly so. That was an awesome climb.
DH and I DVR each stage and watch them together, zapping through the commercials. Well, most of them, anyway.
