The Last Supper

I forgot to tell you about our last meal with Claude and Christine!

Sam and I head down on Tuesday night around 18h30. We met Christine in the kitchen and got down to business. On the menu was: some type of winter salad, salmon and ravioles lasagna and chocolate tart. I worked on the salad (also Claude had to come slice some veggies with this sweet gadget that Christine doesn't know how to use, and doesn't WANT to know how to use, since it gets Claude in the kitchen) while Sam worked on the lasagna, and then we both worked on the cake. Here are some pictures of the prep work:

After preparing the food (we finished around 20h30), we went into the salon for our apperatif. Christine broke out a bottle of champagne and we chatted with her mother who came to eat with us, which was very nice. Claude was, of course, fiddling with the music, and he actually broke out Christine's old records and put them on. It was fun. Also Christine gave us each a CD of classic (unfortunately, English) love songs as a Christmas/going-away present.

Sam and Plume!

Champagne!

Sam with the petit cadeau!

Have I ever mentioned that I love the Bee Gees?

We went to the table around 21h00. At some point during the meal, I turned to Claude and said, "This is the last time you'll be able to make fun of me!" and he shook his head, all seriousness, and said "Oh no. I will send you e-mails."

La table!

The delicious salad!

Sam with the finished product!

The cake!

We came upstairs around midnight. It was a great evening, and I will really miss eating with them.
