Le Monsieur's parents are in town for holidays. They arrived on Wednesday and offered to make us dinner. Just a simple dinner, they assured us when we protested. We'll see what the supermarkets here sell.
Together, they prepared a simple salad to go with the delicious cheese that they brought from France. Camembert, done just the way it should be; a creamy reblochon from the Alps and a "disappointing" comte. Ham, bread and wine from the neighbourhood Cold Storage - from Australia and New Zealand! - completed the meal.
