I’ll put some photos up tomorrow. I just bought a new camera so I’ll be trying it out. I’ll just have to stay away from too much wine (a nice little pinot noir from Tasmania) and calvados.

Nat.

You didn’t get an invite because you said you can’t leave town because of a geriatric dog. As for the music, I’ll be posting much more in the future. I will give it to you a little at a time which will give people time to assimilate it and think about it. Lists are here today and gone tomorrow. One of the intentions of this blog is to turn people onto things that I think are good.

Pat.

My friends deserve good treatment for putting up with all my bad behaviour in the past. They also know better than to try and be slack when they invite me around for dinner. All joking aside, most of my friends are very good cooks and I’m just trying to keep up with them.

Merguez are spicy but not all that hot. I put up the recipe a little while back,

If you read the ingredients you may be able to imagine the flavour. Think Moroccan or north African flavours.

And hey yeh! I’d love to have you three over for dinner sometime.

I know this shall be a success, just on spirit alone. But, I think your guests are in for a grand evening. I am going to catch up on your other posts while you and Mrs. Razz are twirling and swirling those magic plates. Enjoy. I speak for all your blogger friends: WE CAN”T WAIT TO SEE PICTURES and Post party tidbits. And, oh, yes! We wish we were there, too!

I feel strangely hungry… I wonder why.

what can I say? I love your theory about the French fat genetics. Classic. Can’t wait to tell the ever-growing-Monsieur!
Dying to hear how dinner goes tomorrow. Sorry I wasn’t able to be of more help… La Belle Mere was in town and that can be very high-maintenance indeed. Just coming back down to earth now. Anyway, the menu looks FANTASTIQUE, et Bon appetit to you and your friends.

Consider yourself invited.

It’s tomorrow night (10th of July at 7:30 pm, don’t forget about crossing the dateline and how it affects the calculation of time), not much time to organize tickets and pack but if you turn up I’ll make room for you at the table.

For diner we will be having Celeriac Bisque as entrée
Poulet Chasseur as main
Pomme Galettes Flambé with Calvados Sorbet for dessert.

My oenophile friend suggests that a pinot noir would go well with the meal.

Be there!

Or……..

Be some place else.

Pat

Yes you do have some reading to do. I always look forward to your comments. By the way, feel free to drop around for dinner tomorrow night as well.
