Haven't had a lot of energy to do anything too taxing. Christian's been to the Mairie a couple of times. We went to see Josette on Monday afternoon for tea when lo and behold, Philippe arrived with his new partner. We've been invited over to his new house in Collioure for dinner so it will be a great opportunity to finally reunite him and his books that have been in our cave for a number of years now.
Last night Juste and Joséphine came around for something to eat , Spicy Indian Quails which is a delicious recipe from Josceline Dimbleby, followed by Delia's winter dried fruit compote made with port. There's a recipe on the internet for her "Red Quail Curry"which is essentially the same apart from the spinach and hard boiled eggs that were added at the end in the version that I used.

Delia's recipe underneath doesn't use the port but is otherwise the same. you can easily adapt it to what ever you have in the cupboard. I didn't have any figs so threw in some dried cranberries and added star anise. If you're a non-alcohol person Delia suggests using cold Earl Grey tea. I know which I'll go for!
