french braai

i want to introduce you to two very special people in montpellier. brain. an american that teaches english at the university. and marie charlotte. of french origin and girlfriend of brian. they are my french family. they hosted one of my friends from the language school. stephan. and that is how i got to know them. when they heard that i was south african and a winemaker they were astonished. because they love sa and they love wine. not to mention the bubbly factor. two greater lovers of bubbly i have not yet seen. so after stephan left they have invite me for private wine tasting and dinner. so this past weekend i got invited for sunday dinner. i was great. lots of laughs. lots of jokes and funny stories. all in french i will let you know. and guess what we had for dinner. i had my first braai in france. and it was good. pork chops and wors accompanied by grilled potatoes and salad. not the same quality as back in sa off course. but a braai non the less. hats off to the friendly french people for making me feel right at home.
