Last night I made a pavlova as we have been invited out to lunch at Seph’s friends place. We had been out once before and enjoyed their company so we were very lucky to have been invited for lunch. However Hermione certainly wasn’t very well, but she got up and had a shower, downed the panadol and said she would be ok.
We were picked up just after 12 and headed out to their small village. I thought it might be flash when there were 3 wine glasses with each table setting! (The children ate separately – they had chicken nuggets and chips! Then pavlova! Same the world over!)
When we arrived we had an aperitif, champagne and nibbles then a wee while later we had entrée – prawn cocktail, beautifully presented along with a still white. At 3:00 we had our main plat – beef Bourgogne accompanied with a red!
Fromage to follow – I finally got to taste the most amazing Roquefort! I thought about sending it home to Dad but there is no way it would get through our border patrol! I always think of Dad when I have anything to do with cheese – he is such a cheese lover.It really is a wonder he never made it to France just for the cheese!
Roquefort really is a fantastic blue cheese – so all those who like blue – this is the ultimate!
After this we had the pavlova! Accompanied with another bottle of champagne! Shortly after this Hermione started to go downhill and we needed to get her home. However it was dark and at 6:00 lunch was over!
John and Christelle are a lovely couple and I will have to think of how to repay the invitation! We have talked about heading to Europapark in the spring for a weekend together – so will make sure this happens!
Back home Hermione crashed big time and woke up at 9:00 vomiting again, after 24 hour clearance – bit strange!
Hopefully she will be over it all soon!
