Sharing

Our guests had spent all of yesterday visiting Chablis, and they didn’t return until late afternoon, so we took the opportunity of spending the day preparing some goodies for the upcoming ‘fête du Champagne’. I wanted to make some mushroom and chaource pastries to serve with drinks, so I’d prepared a mushroom mixture the day before and left that to cool overnight. With that bit already done, it was just the job of adding a little Chaource and creating the triangles. We worked together, filling and folding, until we had made about 60 of them, then we popped them in the freezer.

As they had taken lunch in a restaurant in Chablis, our guests had opted for a light sharing platter for when they came back. There were cold meats, cheese with homemade pickles and some fresh apricots for dessert.

The evening whizzed along, chatting and laughing together in the warmth of the evening sun, sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company. It was only really when we realised the temperature was dropping that we thought it was time to say our good nights.
