Better Safe than ....

Having described our meal of kedgeree at the Mairie, Jean-Mairie, who heads up finance, said that he liked the sound of it so we invited him, his partner Brigette and Jean-Jacques around this evening to try it out. Jean-Marie said he would bring a seafood platter as a starter. I wasn’t 100% convinced that he would so I made a curried parsnip soup just in case. What a good job that I did as he arrived with a rather splendid floral composition of lilies and orchids but no starter. There was no sign of Brigette either as she is a district nurse and had patients to see. Our guests finally left after 2am and we fell into bed exhausted.
