perhaps i am not lactose intolerant after all!

the host invited us to a barbecue. because the weather
was rainy, windy, and sunny, it became a "french lunch."
12:30ish to 6pm.
course 1
drinks and appetizers. hello, CHAMPAGNE?!
in the spirit of being in france, i do what all do here: get into a spirited
conversation about politics. perhaps this is about DKS? or weiner?
and now the meal begins.
course 2: ensalade, procuitto, cantelope, cherries, tomatoe
course 3: main entree, pork loin with mustard seeds, spinach and drinks
(side note: the tribaut champagne was...simply superb!).
course 4: fromage, brie, camembert, english white chedder, aged goat,etc...
WOW
course 5: Dessert. cake from famous MEERT and tres chocolate cake with
strawberries and cassis from the backyard
