I also went food shopping at the hypermart, nearby, called Homeplus. I decided to make Normandy chicken for my fiance’s dinner. I had to substitue sour cream for creme fraiche and apple juice for calvados but it turned out well.  He liked it. I used to cook every day but don’t any more. It was really good to get back in the kitchen, sipping wine, stirring in cream, snapping asparagus. I enjoyed it very much.
