A regular Monday - though cooooolllddd.
The highlight was hosting a classmate of Sebastian's. Why? Because we are friendly. But also, they are going to the Dordogne for the first time on Friday! So we had a lovely evening of food and wine and travel advice while the 4 children tore around the house.
The supper menu was fantastic (largely thanks to M working an early morning shift and thus having time to prep with me):
1. green apple martinis (only for the adults), cornichons and olives
2. honey mustard glazed fish with apple date coulis, broccoli, rice and carrots
3. bed of greens and peppers with mushroom "bouchees" and Shitake-sesame dressing
4. baguette and cheese platter with fresh figs
5. homemade brownie with grapes and strawberries
6. Tisane to wrap up when the free-flowing French wine tapered off.
I wish we could dine like that several times a week!
BTW - it's still snowing here...

With a menu like this, let it snow.
