Another anxiety provoking day today at the WCM - poor fellow I was feeling sorry for after yesterday had an even rougher day today. You could see the spirit just go out of him after the first of three tasks this morning.
In better news - the two EZtemper owners of the group both made it among the 10 finalists that will compete tomorrow.
Dinner tonight at Boulom - a French 'all you can eat' place. Who should we run into there but our Chicago Cacaobarry connection - the one who had arranged our cocoa butter and chocolate which turned out to be a container of cacao mass and several American chocolatiers who were being brought to enjoy the Salon.
So you start at the front entrance where a delightful hostess cuts you several kinds of bread for your basket - then leads you back to the seating area where you find an embarrassment of traditional French foods to chose from (read gorge on).
rillettes are brought to the table to accompany croutons
some salads
Some crustaceans and molluscs
cut your own Bayonne ham
. carpaccio like dish with pomegranate seeds
Deviled eggs
the terrines
the hots
There was a cheese board with some ossu iraty that I would have enjoyed - but I was too replete after dinner and dessert (not shown)
