Compensation

After 4 days of unappetising food, there was no way that Christian was going to wave Martine and myself off to a "soirée vigneronne" in the restaurant and stay home by himself. In fact David and Laura came too as did the Mayor and his wife. Started the evening chez nous with an apéritif , then had another one at the restaurant which was part of the menu. A full-bodied rosé which accompanied 3 different canapés. There was a different wine with each course ending with a chocolate dessert which was to die for! Found a recipe that corresponds to what we had; the good news is that it's simple, the bad news is that it's in French. Just try it, it's excellent.
