Re: What'd ya do? [quote=Eric]What did everyone get up to during the holidays?
After a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with daughter, boyfriend and grandparents. My husband and I spent New Year's Eve at friends in the country.
The first drink ( called apéritif in France) was with a seafood platter in the sitting room in front of the fire place. Then we danced before having the first course which was oysters with a special sausage called " Crepinette" ( local food in Charente Maritime, a bit strange for me! ) before the second course which was snails ( Yes ,some people like snails!!) Then we danced again before having some homemade goose liver ( made by our friend who is a native of Senegal ) Then danced again before a delicious fish, played a game before cheese ( yes , the fifties end sixties are very young people !! ) danced again before my christmas cake ( made three weeks before Christmas!! ) And finished eating around 4.30 pm
Fortunately for us it's ONCE a year!!! |
