  7. Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have 36 hour days - as long as we could use the extra hours to enrich our lives. I'm sure your guests are in for a delightful and delicious evening. I hope you all have fun and a very Happy New Year.

    I went to an exceptional exhibit on Pompeii today, and I found myself thinking of you and your Normandy kitchen; also, Jim who enjoys cooking too. Would you believe there was a 2,000 year old loaf of bread that had been carbonized and thus preserved in the eruption of Vesuvius! It was haunting!

    I'm going to post some pictures of things in the exhibit - hopefully they turned out because I only have a point and shoot camera, no flash allowed in the exhibit and only low lighting in the exhibit.

    Bon appetit ce soir!
