our kitchen, plaisir, france, 03-28-10
have i mentioned that i love cheese? not enough that i would eat, or even nibble on, the plethora of pungent ones that stink up the french fromageries...but give me anything from the families of extra sharp cheddar, mozzarella, havarti, gouda, muenster or parmesano reggiano & i am akin to a pig in shit (as the saying goes)!
i'm not sure when domesticity snuck up on me, but i spent an apalling amount of my afternoon preparing the above gratin, & i'm proud to declare that i didn't succumb to impatience, which seems to be my constant companion when i am in the kitchen! my blood, sweat & tears (ok, i tend to exaggerate!) were richly rewarded, as i delightedly smacked my lips with every decadent bite from the gooey layers of this bechamel infused dish :) :) :)
as if that plate didn't already make me a kick ass wife, i decided to really go for the gold medal by serving up my top notch mexican wedding cookies for dessert! kablow, how ya like me now???!!! they must have been award winners, as the only complaint i heard was the one coming from inside my belly, annoyed by the fact that it wasn't bigger to be able to store away even more artery cloggin' goodness, lol!
that's the dealy-o from a broad abroad. now if i could just get some assistance with rolling me into bed...i have a new pillow from ikea to take advantage of...merci beaucoup, monsieur piron!!!
toodles!
