Brief time out for Grandma and Jeanne: two days of the stomach flu. Matthew says it's almost epidemic in Paris right now, which does not make us feel better, but does make us grateful that so far, James, Juliet and Matthew haven't gotten it!
Today we are off to Saint Malo for a pre-Christmas dinner with the extended family. This year Yves and Claudie are hosting, and we'll have dinner at a restaurant tomorrow. It will be good to see the family again. After the dinner we'll be off to Morlaix for five days. Christmas Eve there will be a huge dinner with many traditional dishes; Christmas morning has come to be known as "American breakfast". The family loves this breakfast (I'm convinced because they can eat like Americans, guilt-free, one day of the year)! We'll serve smoked salmon, egg casserole, muffins, buttermilk biscuits, fruit, endive salad and something for dessert (pear-apple clafouti?) that Jeanne, the beautiful baker, will come up with. I hope that by then both she and I will be eating normally!
