We cooked for five hours yesterday. BU hosted a French food class. The courses:
- Appetizer and Apéritif: tomato and dijon tartes with salt and Herbes de Provence. (I ate about twelve of them. They were so delicious.) Ate it with some cider.
- Salad: mixed greens with warm goat cheese and homemade dijon vinaigrette and walnuts, along with red wine. (Elisabeth, the instructor, bought Bergerac wine, in honor of "Cyrano de Bergerac," the play we are all going to see tomorrow as a group. Cute.)
- Plat principal: endives au jambon....sautéed endives wrapped in ham and topped with a sauce that used half a block of butter to make. I'm glad I tasted the dish, but I won't be making it any time soon. With this, we had another red wine, Buzet. I prefered this to the Bergerac. It was a bit stronger, but still smooth. Hmm. I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about. Haha.
- Dessert: mousse au chocolat! It is seriously one of the simplest desserts you could possibly make. All you need is chocolate and eggs, and a little elbow grease. We finished off the wines with this last course.
And of course, along with it all, lots of good, lazy afternoon conversation.
Left there full and satisfied. Or should I say, the lunch delicious me gave a coma of food and I had need of a train rapid to me take to the house of me to me put to sleep....
In English: All that food made me sleepy, so I went home and took a nap. Fin. (The end.)
