Early Birds

24.12.13: Spent most of the day doing odds and ends before leaving tomorrow. The fridge is empty of fresh food, the washing and ironing done and bags packed. As we couldn’t have a late night, we opted for a quiet dinner tête à tête at the restaurant and an early night. The meal was excellent:

·         Apéritif: Verrine of puréed mussels with a butternut squash foam

·         Opéra of Foie Gras (Layers of spiced bread, foie gras, chopped nuts, foie gras and Banyuls jelly)

·         King Prawns with chorizo crumble, squid stuffed with white pudding and truffles, Scallops on a bed of veau tartare with orange sauce. (They were small portions but filling none the less!)

·         Mont d’Or cheese

·         Chocolate gateau

·         Coffee

And we were in bed and asleep by 9.45pm
