day 13 late dinner

we quickly got ready. i had to wake baby up cause he was snoring away so peacefully i hate to wake him up. papa drove and he missed a turn in the roundabout the second time. jp was complaining. simone called us as we were almost half way to her place.
we got to her place probably around 930ish or 10pm.

simone was still preparing the food. yves and her drank a whole bottle of champagne awhile waiting for us. she served us appetizers: imitation crab and spicy cocktail shrimps. yves mixed us some drinks one if orange juice and one coconut alcohol mix with pineapple (it was really good).

steamed potatoes, a variety of cheese: natural, smoked and mustard, cold cuts and vegetables made up a special dish raclette. raclette is usually good during cold weather. it is filling and one can keep warm after eating it. we all had a little pan that we filled with sliced cheese and added ham or vegetables: onions, mushrooms, etc on top of the cheese. then we placed it under a grilling pan and wait for it to sizzle. as we wait for the cheese to cook, we peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices ready for the melted cheese et al to be poured on. there is raclette!
i had 5 small potatoes and 8 rounds of cheese and i was already full. and i even skipped lunch.
