I'm not visiting your blog any more if you insist on tormenting me with such images...
Andrea, sorry... It's only food and wine and friends, really!
Trac, Didier is a chef up here... He worked in Carcassonne a long time ago but has lots of friends who own bars... Can't remember any of them cos I was always too far gone...
Can you hear my stomach rumbling????
Ay Chihuahua! Fabuloso! Mucho Gusto...pant pant..bang! crash!slam!
(ran off in vain to the fridge to whip up some poorman's facsimile..nada..wheres the phonebook!!!)
I had to click on your last photo here to see if it was true...alas, no. It only looks like Eddy Murphy when the photo is small. :)
That can't be you and your friends. It is the cast of a hugely-successful feel-good movie for sure x
Mmmmmm what a yummy break you had. I love cassoulet.
Thanks, Christine! No idea where we'll go next but it is on the cards!
HE, you'll just have to join us for the next trip!
Brian, no it's not Eddie....It's me!
Cherrybabe, it was a feel-good trip! And yes, friends and bar owner...
Very yummy, Dons! And I love Cassoulet too!
