Well last night was a breakthrough in the Ancient Kitchen of Maison Blanche. A fully cooked Pasta Bolognaise Bucatini with Melanzana(Eggplant) for the first time the kitchen was used this trip. The mouse, rat and Gerbil population has been depleted by the efforts of Cara (mostly) and Mucca. It was an unholy MESS in there. Much ruination and damage from the 2 year invasion. It is now clean and functional. I'll start making bread this week and take a rustic loaf next door to the Proxie-man in trade for some local goat cheese...the best in the world!
Our current wine habit is a Columbard from South Africa, delicious, delicious! The house red remains a Cote Du Rhone. Wines are so good and so very abundant here that it seems a shame to have to buy a South African white when there are Reuillys, Quinceys, Sancerre and others so very available for so little money...it's partly political, we like South Africa a LOT and want to support it's wine industry. This dates from our QE2 adventure from Southampton to South Africa in 1999. A wine producer from the Cape area was onboard with some of his wines and held an abundant and FREE tasting, we fell in love with his offerings. The whites stood out as very fine, and it stuck.
Gotta go down to Mr. Gue's garage and ask him to repair the Toyota's Alternatuer (French spelling noted) when he repairs the drivers side front end next week. I wrote it down in English and had Google Translate offer up a French-more-or-less version. Smart? I dunno...
