Farm House Hospitality and the $100 Omelet
Linda's Uncle Christen, Aunt Francois and Aunt Ella!
When it comes to family there is nothing like spending time! And how the French spend their time is over drinks (red wine), dinner and dessert! When we are here they literally roll out the "fatted calf" and make us feel special. These are special people! Generous beyond generous! Only the best for us!
This is a truffle. Christen dug it up under a tree somewhere. Black Truffles go for $95 an ounce. Francois made us an omelet with eggs from their chickens and with truffles. I figure this is at least a $100 omelet!!
When I buy a bottle of wine in America, it is usually a year old and I drink it that night. The French will buy cases of their favorite and put it in their wine cellar. As more and more bottles are consumed the older the wine gets served saving the best wine for last! Hey that's Biblical!
Growing their own olives and making their own olive oil has its advantages. Home made olive bread!
some sort of "dried" duck....Christen aged. Tasty!
Linda's cousin Maroussia sampling the Wild Boar stew....unbelievably tender and oh the taste !
Pears with homemade whipping cream and home made Apple Tart
and yes.....More Cheese!
and to finish the dinner and to cleanse the palette … home made Limoncello!
What a day, what an experience!
