We talked about having a B&B, but Liz's wisdom prevailed. It was decided not to spend our time with unknown guests. Our new house was designed to share with our family and friends. This past weekend we were thrilled to share our home with a dear friend, Hubert Olivier from Paris. It was a great chance to do some good cooking, sample from the wine cellar and discuss a long list of subjects. Hubert and his family have hosted us in Paris several times and visited us several times over the past 15 years. It is great quality time to discuss everything from politics to family to the changing world and it's impact on our living. Great friends, good wine and food sure made the time go quickly. A small cooking challenge too as the beef tenderloin had one request for med well and the guest request for rare. Fortunately, our Cook's Illustrated was a big help allowing great success with very little stress. It's a wonderful life!
