This poor blog is truly neglected nowadays.That's partly honeymoon and mostly laziness and the ease of posting a Facebook update for you..
We've been so busy, mostly with planning our next escape to Athens, whilst juggling work and other obligations to get us there.
The above picture is of Notre Dame in Reims. We thought a trip there recently would be rather a good idea, wot with it being the centre of the Champagne region of France and all that.
Great fizz aside, we ate well, that is until the final soirée.
I love my meat rare, but the lump of very young saignant cow that landed on my plate on this fateful night was too much for my constitution to bear. If it were not for the wobbly foie gras and grey mashed potato that neither of us could figure out, I may have coped.
Alas, I opted to drown my culinary sorrows in copious amounts of Jacquessons and shut up, fearing a further trip to the kitchen for my plate may have just sent me over the edge.
The good news however, is that we managed to stock up on 9 euro per bottle fizz.
Not bad.
A glimpse of a happy dinner table, ante gross main course and below, the fire. First lit last Saturday and not likely to cool for at least another 6 months...

Not all French know how to cook. That's a myth.
I concur!
and their cheese sucks.
I cannot agree with that comment!
Runny, stinky, smells like old gym socks French cheese. Blech.
Hey, if you go to the South wall of Notre Dame and look really close you can see where I scratched my name into the stone!!
Norty boy! You know there are around 400 French cheeses. You don't have to pick the runny, smelly ones...
Two things: 1) Congrats on the nuptials!! You two make a wonderful looking couple. I wish you great happiness. 2) Phos, c'mon now. The stinkier the cheese on the nose, the more delightful on the tongue. As my grandmother used to say "It's like angels pooing on your tongue!".
Poo is right. Give me a good Brick cheese any day...
Yet another victim of Facialbook...
French cheese still smells like ass.
