……I looked at my watch and it was 5 minutes to 4:30pm. I stood up and went to the kitchen to grab the Kaya that I made. I left the office sharp at 4:30pm to make my way to the nearest Underground station to meet up Arnaud, then to King’s Cross where the Eurostar is now based. It was quicker than we thought it would take us to get to the station. In fact, we were more than 1 hour early. It was gonne... 

It’s 20/12. All I could say is time flies! It was probably about 2 weeks ago we were busy shopping for presents and getting everything wrapped nicely. Today, we have got all the presents packed in the luggage and ready to go. Where to? Off to France to celebrate Christmas!

For a change, it’s French food today since we have been having a lot of Asian food lately. So, Arnaud has been craving for a very classic entree which seemed like a very good idea! It’s called Crotin de Chavignol Chaud au Miel et au Thym – Hot Crotin de Chavignol with Honey and Thyme.   Starter doesn’t have to be complicated to make it look tasty.
