Eat, Eat and Eat Again!

Until today, this week has been fairly quiet apart from some eating and drinking.
Tuesday: Tea at Michel's
Wednesday: Lunch at the resto for Christian (a Mairie thing) while I had a bowl of soup ... let's hear it ..... ahhhhhh! I made up for it in the evening though with the "Apérobio" which included far too much wine while Christian and Jean-Jacques had an omelette at our place.
Thursday: Back to the restaurant for lunch ... well, it is Thursday and old habits die hard.
Now all that was just a warm up for the main event as today was the OAPs' lunch, the highlight of the village social calendar. On the menu:
  • Apéritif (and my goodness, you had to be fleet of foot and sharp of elbow to get to the pringles before they disappeared)
  • Foie Gras (and it was a substantial slice that you left deep teeth marks in)
  • Fillet of Sole Tropical with Scallops à la Normande
  • Steak with Madeira Sauce and Vegetables
  • Sorbet
  • Cheese Platter
  • Gâteau with a Sweet Wine Sauce
and yes, even though we danced a bit, we went home full to bursting!
