Our neighbors invited us over for dinner on Wednesday. What
an experience. We began with little
salted crackers, chips, and three different types of wine. We could also sample a treat Gilles made – a
recipe from his mother: caramel a pruneau. They were wonderful and I did get the recipe –
can’t wait to try them at home.
Then we moved to the table for the first course (or second,
I guess): a carrot and beet salad – delicious!
And then we moved on to a wonderful quiche (which I also got the recipe
for). It was filled with several
different vegetables, cheeses, and a wonderful light crust. Agnes talked me through the way to make that
crust, and again, I am anxious to try it at home.
We were pretty full by this time, but we weren’t done
yet. When the quiche was moved away, it
was replaced with fruit: apples, strawberries, kiwi, and oranges. And then a
plate of several kinds of cheese. By
this time we were really full, but it’s not done yet. . . we ended with crème
anglais. So-o good!
The company was great, the food fantastic, and the evening
wonderful.
