What can you say about great friends? No matter where they are in the world, a good friend is about as special a present as you can get. Rosemarie and I are exhausted and our hosts could not have been more perfect. Dinner wafted in from the kitchen and it was beyond delicious. First course, tomato soup with cream and baby shrimp followed by a shrimp souffle that Serge just "threw together." Made with the eggs from their chickens, the dish was light, airy and remained on the tongue as we had our final course - tomatoes stuffed with yet another creamy shrimp concoction with a side of homemade Belgian fries. The mayo was all gone in seconds.
"You cook like this every night?" I asked.
"Yes, yes, of course," Serge responded to someone who makes a week's worth of meatloaf and chicken casserole and freezes it. "Sometimes, though, we are tired and just have a pizza."
Thank God some things are the same across the world.
