It seems strange to be writing about such a frivolous thing as a dinner party when Donald Trump is trying to ban Muslims from the United States, but it was a wonderful break for us from the terrible news of what President Trump is doing to the United States and the world.
Last night we had our French tutor and family as well as our landlords for dinner. Our tutor and her family are French and our landlords are American but have lived here for the last decade. Our day started out with a trip to the Saturday market to see exactly what ingredients we would have for the dinner. As it turned out, we had great luck.
Then we had to make the dinner. Here is Jane making the homemade chocolate sauce from some wonderful organic chocolate.
Of course we also needed to set the table and clean up the apartment.
Then the people arrived.
And a great time was had by all in English and French and baby talk. Much of the adult talk was of politics. The conclusion that I drew from our political discussions is that the establishment parties in England, France and the United States (and probably other places as well) are all in a state of disarray and need to be replaced or taken over by new leaders and be open to new ideas and ways of doing things.
Thanks for reading and please comment,
