Thanks Simon, Iām getting there and will be able to soon remove the brace 
I had a lovely meal with friends last night. After aperos we had a delicious quiche, this was followed by a mixed vegetable dish that included spinach and ricotta cheese in the interior and was topped off by more cheese. To follow we had apple pie.
Lots of discussions on all sorts of topics around the table (bit like here really) with some good friends, so a great evening

Isnāt it wonderful when someone else does the cookingā¦ 
were you a mixed bag (languages) ??
Yes Stella it was wonderful to have a meal cooked, and not know beforehand what it would be.
We were, 3 French, I Belgium and me so an evening of French + some Flemish thrown in for good measure 
Lively discussions abounded, including the very real concern of my Belgium friend about the Islam partyās proposal of segregation of men and women on public transport. But hey ho thatās a whole new can of worms so I will stop there !

Asparagus, Iām in south-western Germany (Baden) at the moment and it is an obsession - everything is asparagus-oriented (even ice-cream) but usually you just eat a kilo or so of lovely white stalks with hollandaise, a bit of ham and kratzete (eggy pancakes fried in lard) ultra-delicious. So you see signs up everywhere saying āSpargelzeitā.

Noooo Simon, how could you ?
The last time I had a McDo was several years ago, it was a takeaway while on holiday. Briefly, I was on holiday with mum and āmy partnerā, we had an overnight stay in Orange, if I remember correctly. Mum was too tired to go out to a restaurant so we found a McDo ( fast food makes you sick quick) and took the food back to the B&B.
Berk, horrible, even the receptionists dog didnāt want it!
Hang your head in shame that a great cook like you can resort to this, confess your sins to your OH and donāt do it again

I love Asparagus VĆ©ronique, must say I have never had ice cream though ! Itās just arrived here in the local markets and I had some prepared for me by a friend. One of my favourite ways is cooked, then served cold dipped in a vinagerette ā¦
Have a great stay in Baden, thinking of you with a huge stein of beer in hand
