We had an evening in Paris!  We were treated to wonderful French food – so divine!  Our sweet hostesses, Michele and Amy, completely spoiled us.

  

We have strict GC rules to not be late, but to not arrive early either!  Here we are waiting outside before knocking at 7:00 sharp! 🙂

 

 

Here's the menu:

Frozen Lemonade with Blackberry Puree (delicious!)

Rosemary Cashews (divine!)

Gruyere Herb Puffs

Toasted Baguette with Goat Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato

Mushroom Soup in Croute (a favorite for me) 

Asparagus with Hollandaise

Beef Bourguignon (wow!)

Endive and Red Leaf Salad with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

Cheese Plate

Stuffed French Crepes with Raspberry Sauce

Hot Cocoa

That's a lot of food! I was stuffed half way through!  Really yummy.

 

 

And a funny story – I happened to wear pig tails to this event.  I had gotten some sun and wanted my hair off my neck, and well – was feeling a little sassy, so I wore pig tails.  As I was taking this group picture of all the lovely ladies, I backed in to a small candle that was sitting on the winding stair case.  And MY HAIR CAUGHT ON FIRE!  First I smelled it, then I felt heat, and quickly I was snuffing out my hair and making sure my clothes weren't on fire.  In the meantime, my friend Christi almost had a stroke as a result – all she could do was clap her hands at me – she couldn't speak!  THANKFULLY only the ends of one section were singed, and I caught it before it got really bad.  For that I am very thankful – it could have been bad.  But we all got a good laugh out of it – especially Christi's reaction.
