Veuve Clicquot - again......














Although Craige and Greg have been together many years, August 11, 2008 marks the one-year anniversary of their marriage (in Canada, of course).

So, for the second time this year, I find myself sipping Veuve Clicquot, third time if you count my "Christmas with the Gabors" (you don't want to know!).

If you find yourself sipping a lot of expensive champagne:

1) You are probably a lush
2) Your life is probably pretty exciting
3) You likely have some wonderful and generous friends

This was followed by:

Caprese Salad
Filet Mignon, with mushrooms and bernaise sauce
Roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary
Baby Asparagus with lemon
1997 Silver Oak Reserve Cabernet Saugvignon
Pluot Clafouti with vanilla ice cream (I know you have no idea what this is).

If you each send me 10 euros, I'll tell you what Pluot Clafouti is.

Neil, how thrilling to be able to track your progress as you become a world traveller and fully-fledged alcoholic (tee hee).

Can't wait for the next adventure.

Hi Neil,
Sorry we did not get chance to call you before you left.
It seems like you are having a great "champagne lifestyle" already and of course we are very jealous.
It so wonderful to be able to follow you all around the world courtesy of your blog.
