Preparing for France is doing a number on my stomach!And I’m not talking about my own preparation. I had to drop my parents off at the airport at 4 a.m. this morning for their three-week vacation to France. At first I was jealous of not being invited on their first parents-only vacation. But now it doesn’t matter!
Well, in the last week since I found out I was able to obtain a visa and prepare for the move overseas, my dad got on this “Let’s eat French food all week!” kick, until he realized that they’re going to be doing that every night for the next 20 days.
It’s not like I mind that I get to stretch out my cooking legs again, because I’m going to be preparing for myself over the next month.
This past week’s menu (prepared all mostly by moi):
-Brie and onion fondue dinner with vegetable, sausage and bread dippers
-Orange-chocolate fondue dessert with fruits and madelines
-Crêpes suzettes! Drizzled with the left-over orange chocolate sauce
-Soupe provençale
-Maple cream parfait with nuts and berries
Yeah, so I’m ready for a year in France! We’ll see how I fare cooking for myself in this last month leading up to it, and I think it’s time for me to take a French food hiatus until I’m actually over there.
But I can’t wait to stuff my face with syrupy flavored kirs, crepes, chocolates, fabulous pastries, WINES… oh là là!
