Went
to the market at Hennebont this morning. Found some really fresh
quality fruit and vegetables.
I've planned out a Breton menu for the
dinner party when Laura's over but, after reading her e-mail this
morning (not liking shellfish), I'm going to have to change the
starter... Have now decided to keep the moules mariniere and Laura
can have crepes. For the main course I'm going to try the poulet
au cidre Breton
(better do a trial run) and I'll make a Breton
far cake for the dessert. A lot of people are put off by prunes in cake, but I
love it (really is delicious!).
Must
remember to ask Laura to bring over some Marmite, baked beans and
teabags when she comes.
Best
get the dinner all sorted in advance. Everyone says I get stressed
when I'm cooking (I don't believe it). Quite a few said they're
coming; Rodrigo and Tatiana, Ines, Alexander and Simone, and now Karl
said he'll come. Everyone's
bringing some drink (cider and wine). I'm looking forward to it.
Decided to video my trial run for the Breton cider chicken. Weird
how the camera is okay taking videos and not with photos (see blog)
Pieter
came over to offer to help with my laptop this evening. He remembered
me saying about the problems I've been having uploading my files to
Kindle. He's a manager of an IT company in Rennes and even
he
couldn't see how it could be uploaded with OpenOffice. In the end, he
installed Microsoft Office on my computer and now it works like a
dream - Brilliant!
Just
published Amatore's
Restaurant
on Amazon Kindle this evening. So relieved to get it up there at
last.
