We traveled to France as a family today. I must say it was a very nice trip. As a family we stopped at a local meat market for the best cut of meat to prepare our main dish. Sport and I got home and researched some things about France and their lifestyle. We also used a life line and called my sister "Aunt Jenny" who studied French for 4 years in High School. She gave us some good information and history about the culture too. The French eat small meals not huge elaborate 10lbs of meat and more meat and more pasta and more carbs.... they eat light, small meals and really concentrate on Café and desserts (YUMMM my favorite as well).
We realized that comparing our Greek night to the French night this French was MUCH easier. The meal itself was not as difficult to prepare and overall just seemed more calm. It's funny because as I sit back thinking about Greek night, we really sounded Greek yelling and getting loud together, but that was just as much fun getting our hands dirty preparing that meal and trying out a new Ethnicity.

| Sport insisted on cutting the garlic all by himself. It took alot of time but he did a great job. |
 |
| Sport continued to stir his Green Beans with his magic touch I must say they are the BEST we have ever had and no this is not mothers bragging the really were the BEST we have ever had. |
The menu for French night is below:
Main Course: Chateaubriand (it melted in our mouth), wine, potatoes & Carrots (amazing), wine, French style Green Beans w almonds (Made by Sport all by himself and the best we have EVER had), wine....

| My mouth waters looking at this. |
Dessert: Crepes and Grand Marnier French Toasted Angel Food cake w/ strawberries and whip cream.
 |
| Isn't it beautiful!?! |
 |
| Requests for seconds before I even sat down to take a bite. |
We love our trips around the world (in the kitchen) and look forward to many more experiences. Next stop... Italy!
