It's A Cheese Cheese Cheese World

I’m talking about cheese again. But it’s not my fault. I live in a country with about 400 cheeses. We’re all about the cheese here. This is what happened…

Friday morning we awoke to a snowy icy village. Too much snow and ice for The Husband to drive to work (the roads in and out of Le Petit Village can get real bad, real quick, and don’t get salted). Snow day. Now last year The Husband had a snow day, and since that one drove me batty, I learned my lesson. I had a plan; as soon as The Husband starts to go stir crazy (which he will) get him out of the house.

The Husband was stir crazy by 8:30 (it doesn’t take long). Time to put my plan into motion; I steered him in the direction of Honey Jr’s next door (pretty good plan, no?). A few minutes later The Husband returned with his own plan. Brother-in-Law was also at Honey Jr’s (I’m guessing he was stir crazy too and Child Bride and I have the same plan). The three of them put their boy heads together and decided that a snow day should be celebrated. And it should be celebrated with cheese. That’s right, cheese. We celebrated our snow day with not only a Raclette, but Fondue too.

Fondue and Raclette? 
It’s insanity I know! 
Here’s me all bundled up with my bag of goodies. 
It’s off to Brother-in-Law’s I go. 
(That was a poem. Sort of)

On the walk past the snowy war memorial, 
I bumped into Fifty’s girlfriend, Vicky, and stopped to say bonjour. 
 
We arrived at Brother-in-Law’s, shed all the layers, and settled in for the cheesy cheese madness. 
Honey Jr toasted…
The Husband and Child Bride ate. A lot. 
Child Bride’s La Petite is becoming 
a serious rival to The Husband’s Food Whore.   
 

{half baked}
We drank some homemade pear digestif to burn through all that cheese. 
 
All the while chaperoned by Professor Python.

(Thank God It’s Cheeseday)

  15. I love that your coat has a hood! And I have the biggest crush on your life; it makes me so happy that someone from upstate(ish!) NY can end up in a lovely place like Provence. I went to Lourdes but had a ton of friends at John Jay — what are the odds! Lastly, that pear digestif looks incredible. So so happy you found my blog so that I, consequently, discovered yours. 🙂

Okay there, I'm better now.Raclette and fondue are exactly what Jon and I are going to have for our New Year's Eve party! I mean, come on, how could you have too much of that yummy goodness. I will need to ask you tips on a good raclette and fondue gathering.

  19. Heaven! But where was Fifty? You looked super cute and snug in your coat AND hat underneath. Did you learn that in Ireland like me cause when it rains, your coat hood always gets blown back and if you don't have a hat your hair gets wet?I really hope you're going to be able to make it to Ireland. Updates please.a xo

  30. All of that cheese would drive me almost as batty as a stir-crazy-worthy snow day. I can't stand being home that much! Mr. A would just plant himself on the couch and watch movies from the DVR for hours at a time, wrestling included. I'll pass and continue praying for no snow days for my fiance. xoxo.http://glamkittenslitterbox.blogspot.com/
