Back in the kitchen again...

So the chief has returned and I am finally back to being the peon in the kitchen, Happy am I! I am actually wishing though that the current group of 6 that I am cooking for waould be slightly larger in number so I would be a little busier, but as it is only 6 I am trying a new recipe.

Hypothetically this is what my new recipe should look like, we shall see. If it is a winner I will post the recipe for all to try.

The cats away...

Since Jay and Debbie are gone at the moment they left us a list of things to keep us busy. One of which being removing the wallpaper in one of the dorm rooms. Here I am, you can tell it was the begining because it was still fun.

Here is a bit of the wallpaper mess, as we were mid-removal.

We did do some fun stuff though before they left. We all went and climbed a regionally known rock formation called Solutre. Here is one of the views from the top.

Here is me on the top, picture evidence that I made it to the top.

From the chateau...

Lots has been going on at the chateau over the last few weeks with my visiting friends/ family, cleaning and cooking for groups. Here are a few pictures to give you some idea of what exactly has been going on here.

The summer keepers of the chateau, Emilynn, Me and Jay and Debbie Hocking.

Marion and I, as she was up teaching at a children's weekend at the chateau.

My pastor and has wife at my house for dinner.

Here is our little group of quilters, it was a little crazy with 50 women at the Chateau, poor Jay was the only guy.

Here is a delicate procedure of dusting coaco powder onto the top of each piece of chocolate tart, it took only 3 people to do it.

Here are the happy cooks, because we know that if you feed them you will come.

How many Americans does it take to cut a loaf of bread?

Here we are doing a little shoppping for one of last weeks groups.
