Thanks for the thought and the informative posts about your area of France. I hate to say it, but I don't like oysters very much. Wish I did.

I can't get excited by your photo although it does look compelling. Perhaps a taste one of these days just in case my taste buds have changed...<br /><br />Too bad about that damage to the "Bertie Bell" on your gatepost. I don't know if I could have said, "Ce n'est pas mauvais" or something like that... Well done, I must say. That's how to keep friends and acquaintenances, isn't it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-22278447783160786112010-12-31T20:04:01.291+01:002010-12-31T20:04:01.291+01:00Happy, healthy new year Ken and Walt, Callie and B...Happy, healthy new year Ken and Walt, Callie and Bertie!<br />Your evening sounds lovely.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-15554367847124246192010-12-31T17:46:54.873+01:002010-12-31T17:46:54.873+01:00Bonne année et bonne mangerBonne année et bonne mangerSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-58779447753199208002010-12-31T17:27:50.408+01:002010-12-31T17:27:50.408+01:00The oysters sound delicious.

We have many gastronomic adventures already planned.

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is fantastic with oysters! BTW, Don't forget to give Bertie one of those oysters! Maybe it'll stop him from staying out all night the next time. I'm not sure Callie would appreciate them though!ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-10459307377655725552010-12-31T15:07:28.197+01:002010-12-31T15:07:28.197+01:00Happy New Year, Melinda.

I'll post the recipe. And then you have to make a caramel in a mold or loaf pan. It came out really nice, and it's delicious. Walt said it had too much vanilla in it, and then he ate two slices!Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-53752681953451343202010-12-31T15:01:32.604+01:002010-12-31T15:01:32.604+01:001/1/11 sure looks good to me!

I've never seen a rice pudding like yours. <br /><br />The McConnells are coming here for the holiday, but we are having dinner in B'ham first at a restaurant named "Chez Fon Fon". We are going to see "The King's Speech" also.
