Another Day, Another Doctor

Yesterday Christian had his check up with the cardiologists and guess what he told him? Yes, you're right, dear reader; "lose weight and walk"! He also wants hime to see about his arteries which are obviously seriously furring up.
An unexpected invitation came our way this morning when we were having our after language exchange glass of wine ... we were invited to eat calçots this evening in the bar. Calçots are large spring onions, grilled and eaten with a sauce in the same way as you would asparagus (ie, with your fingers). It's a traditional dish hereabouts and the season isn't very long. Jean-Louis grilled them over the open fire and we enjoyed. Couldn't stay too long as Jean-Jacques (Michelle is in hospital again)was coming for supper. Made a really delicious soup, even if I do say so myself. chestnut and Parsnip, the recipe for which you can find at http://andyskitchen.co.uk/blogs////blog1.php/recipes/soup/creamy-chestnut-and-parsnip-soup
Mmmm! My mouth is watering at the thought of it.
Today, as there was no Spanish so I had a bit of a lie. Michel came at apéritif time so stayed for something to eat. I'd been planning for us to eat some pretty sad looking left-overs so did a quick rethink and made pasta with a smoked salmon sauce.
