I'm sorry they showed up out of the blue, though. But then, I don't think they have your phone number. Otherwise, they would have rung first; I'm sure. <br /><br />I must admit that I'm slightly (and that's a serious understatement, believe me) jealous ... I would have liked sharing a glass of bubbly with the four of you. I'm spending my 'holiday' working (at home - at least I don't have to get up at 6 a.m. and take the car into Brussels) preparing the launch of a new product. It's rather stressful as I have no back-up and need to cope on my own, while everybody is having two weeks off.<br /><br />I can only dream of the Loire Valley right now, but hope to be back in 2013. Enjoy your 'réveillon' and warmest wishes for 2013!

The fact that it give tablespoon equivalents for things unknown to us like "sticks of butter" doubles the books value... it acts as a dictionary for your recipies and books like "Greene on Greens".<br /><br />The book's title...<br />"Everybody Eats Well In Belgium Cookbook".Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
