Ste Adèle
After days of planning to make this Christmas special, since it is the first Christmas Day we have spent alone for over thirty years, I think I have finally cracked it.
We went down to Cahors market this morning, hearing it was particularly special on Christmas Eve, and we were, frankly, rather disappointed. We bumped into friends who were equally surprised to find so few stalls and we wished each other a Happy Christmas. A very nice man found me a goose small enough for two people and proceeded to do things to it that I won't offend the vegetarians amongst you by describing. He told me exactly how to cook it, and I listened attentively even though we have had goose for Christmas dinner several times in the past.
We topped up the 'decent' wine cellar (as opposed to the everyday wine cellar), threw in a bunch of flowers for good measure and returned to a slap-up lunch of .... a hot dog.
The hard work will start this afternoon. I've picked a special fish menu for tonight, 5 courses in total but all light courses. I will try to get ahead for tomorrow's rather more ambitious menu too.
Happy Christmas one and all.

Merry Christmas to you both. This evening we are having egg and chips follewed by fruit and ice cream. Tomorrow - roast turkey with the usual (No - not chips.
Visitors aplenty although not very many wise men as we don't seem to know any!
