Today the kids go home and we will miss them all after such a great week 

We drop them off at Carcassonne airport and drive into town for lunch. One of our favourites is Longchamp Brassiere in Place Carnot, Carcassonne.

                                                               Ed at Le Longchamp  

We choose a light lunch of Roquefort salad and Tomato with mozzarella, both with a delicious dressing (see recipe below). We have a glass of wine and coffee to finish. A quick (very quick) look around the shops with no time to buy any of the lovely clothes and shoes!  Straight home, as tomorrow will be a busy day. Many of our friends will be arriving for the party and we’ll need to be up early to shop for all the fresh food we will cook. We have the first early night in a long time with Welsh Rarebit for supper (Sue’s Recipe see below).

DRESSING FOR SALAD

3 tbsp good olive oil

1 tbsp Marc de Champagne vinegar (most good supermarkets stock this) or Vinaigre de Noix by Maille is another good make.

1 tsp Dijon mustard 

Salt and pepper

Mix everything together, add salt and pepper to season and pour over salad – that easy!

SUE’S WELSH RAREBIT

2 slices of bread 

As much grated cheese as you wish

1 egg beaten 

dash of Worcestershire sauce

Put cheese and beaten egg in a bowl. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.   Mix thoroughly and spread evenly on toast (no butter required).  Grill until golden brown and serve (really good with brown sauce).

yum😋
