Newlyweds' Rice with Fresh Herbs

White rice (guess it had to be, because who would throw brown rice at a wedding?) with what is essentially a fresh version of herbs de provence. I am sure Alice learned this one from her time at the Cordon Bleu school in Paris. Simple to make, and paired well with grilled pork tenderloin and a bottle of  Rose des Karantes. C'est manifique!

Episode Note "The Honeymoon" The first episode of the series. Carol Martin (a lovely lady, bringing up three very lovely girls, all of them had hair of gold like their mother, the youngest one in curls) knowing it was much more than a hunch, marries Mike Brady (who was busy with three boys of his own, they were four men living all together, yet they were all alone).  Hijynx ensue with the merging of these two groups and their pets (Tiger, aka Bad Dog) and Fluffy (the girl's cat who makes it's one and only appearance). Tiger chases Fluffy through the backyard wedding ceremony, destroying everything in their wake. Mike and Carol scold the children and head off for their night of bliss, only to feel guilty enough to go back and retrieve the brood and take them along on the honeymoon. Because, as Carol tells the innkeeper, "The only thing better than a honeymoon for two, is a honeymoon for eight". Right. I believe in France that would be a menage `a huit.
