In my remodel from hell, I've gone from a table that would seat 10 to one that will seat only 6. Pretty much sums up the trend!! So glad you are feeling better.

I'm so glad you mentioned the temperature of cheese - it makes all the difference in the world when a nice ripe 'un is eaten at room temperature. Ah, beautiful cheese .... a guilty indulgence.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-79338080590039742592015-10-31T16:36:19.937-04:002015-10-31T16:36:19.937-04:00They were very unusual then and cost me a fortune....They were very unusual then and cost me a fortune.

As to Americans and Latin Americans the cheese course is non existent. As a matter of fact they never serve it as it should be. They eat it straight out of the refrigerator instead of letting it sit for awhile. The difference is incredible. As a matter of fact I was just explaining to one of my daughter's friend last week about the Pope's nose and the etiquette on how to eat Brie. She and her husband were fascinated. I bet you they'll never forget!!! lol<br /><br />Nowadays no one gives a damn about these things and they do what they want. But they love to go to the UK and France and marvel at the way they do things.<br /><br />It's cloudy this afternoon so the little people will be ringing the doorbell early. It will be a long night.

In your 1998 menu, I notice that you serve the cheese course before the dessert, which I believe to be very French indeed. In England, we serve the dessert (or sweet/pudding as they call it) before the cheese. Now, what I want to know is which way around do Americans serve things? <br /><br />I'll be greeting little trick and treaters this evening but only for a while. We plan to escape for an early dinner at Tadich Grill as my daughter made plans to spend the evening with her friend trolling the neighborhood and then off to a sleepover.<br /><br />Enjoy your spooky evening.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-3188109883477613742015-10-31T12:11:53.247-04:002015-10-31T12:11:53.247-04:00Coming along...now at least I can pound the keys!!...Coming along...now at least I can pound the keys!!!lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-59785610274507185892015-10-31T12:10:52.926-04:002015-10-31T12:10:52.926-04:00Looking forward to your post next year.

I think somewhere along the line I found out the correct translation... it's been so long. Halloween is getting to be very popular around the world. Kids love all that candy. I have already had my fair share and keep having to refill the basket!.

The eglantines I believe are rose hips, so any rose hip jam might approximate the European product. Conserves made from haws would probably be good also. Halloween has always been a favorite of mine, but it is not so big in Taiwan. However, today I am meeting some friends, and am taking along little toy Halloween goblins and pumpkins for the kids.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-26902452697591000552015-10-30T21:10:33.738-04:002015-10-30T21:10:33.738-04:00Oh Francie, that is so sweet...
