Let a Man Do the Cookin'

I have been so blessed with the presence of two of my great friends this week!

Ali and Mike, and a real French chicken!

After two weeks of meeting new person after new person, it has been so nice to be around people who have known me for more than October of 2013.  (Ali and I have been friends since high school, and were roommates for 3 years in college; that girl has no option but to know me well!)

So what do you do in a tiny town like Savenay for a week with two people who have been travelling through some of the greatest cities in Europe for the past two weeks?  What can I offer them that no one else has?

This!

 Food, I tell you! And copious amounts of it! We are on a mission to try as many cheeses, wines, and baguettes as possible this week, and we are succeeding.

Mike and Ali really are the best guests ever though.  They are ok with just hanging out while I teach during the day, they don't complain when you tell them you live in a high school, and (most importantly) they cook!  Very well, I might add.

Mike made us clams last night.  Uhhh yum.com.

Overall, it's been a great few days.  I am so grateful to have such great company here, and I am loving ever minute of it. I mean, how could you not when you end every night looking like this?:

All the foods? Check.
