Master Chef
Who is planning a summer party? I found myself with less than a week's notice having a Bastille Day party. It isn't a full meal (I'm looking at late afternoon, but before supper), and I happen to have a half-wheel of goat brie (yes, those of you who read other lines, a locally made cheese) and on Saturday I'll pick up some crusty bread. I also have a container of Alouette cheese spread (also a local product). The friend who is guest of honor lives in France and almost always brings me some sort of food product (and I have a jar of pate from her last visit that will come out). I have no intentions of cooking, and my friends are all big on potluck. Someone actually already brought me a French flag, and I suspect another one may be coming, to decorate the porch rail. I'm considering making a quiche the day before. What are your plans, and do any of you have any French ideas?
