BON APPETIT!

Don't expect to see the same Megan when I get back to Canadaland... I'll probably be about 300lbs at this rate. Simple breakfast this morning (easy to see why); homemade sausage, fries, pate (with black truffles... more expensive than gold!), among other things I cannot remember, for lunch, with amazing handpicked strawberries and yogurt for "dessert;" and for dinner we ate some delicious duck, MORE homemade pate and bread, sauteed wild mushrooms, and salad, then homemade peach pie for dessert. On deck for tomorrow's dinner: omelettes with truffles and god knows what else.

P.S. I am also pleased to say that I was able to stomach not one, but two glasses of red wine... It was tough, but I pushed through with a nice face on... Bleh. Hopefully these are steps of progress towards enjoying wine.

P.P.S. I met the neighbour's dog, Billou... And by neighbour, I mean they live on the other side of the mountain and are cousins of the Courtels. Anyways, he was a beautiful orange and white Brittany Spaniel (I thought of you Grandpa!) and was both a farm and hunting dog (he's one of the dog's Allan uses). He was so cute, I just fell in love with him, as did Morgana. He wandered over as we were painting outside and just came and laid down with us, calm as could be. We're going over to his "farm" tomorrow, since that's where Claudine gets her eggs. We bring leftover bread for the chickens and get eggs in return... Pretty good deal if you ask me! He also has a "brother" at his home... We'll see if he's as sweet and cute as he is!

Signing off with a VERY full tummy...

Bonsoir, xo
