Nov Whew! Sweating out a cold is hard work! I awoke soaked through 3 times last night. I hope I have this beat back enough to go to the 4 course dinner and wine tasting tonight! It was tricky getting the seats and now to not be able to go?
Not cool. Share everything? Gee, thanks Manfred! I am definitely feeling good enough to go to the dinner, and so is Manfred. We just have runny noses and some periodic coughing but all in all, most of the yucky feeling and fever are gone. So I went to my host and asked if she happened to have any cold medicine that would dry up my sinuses and suppress our coughs for a couple of hours so we can get through this dinner without going through a box of Kleenex and I received an aggressive lecture about how that is the problem with Americans.
All we want are drugs to make things happen exactly when we want them to. I got very upset that I was being scolded for her anger toward America when all I wanted was some cold medicine. I mean, if Americans are the only people who take cold medicine to diminish the symptoms, then why is cold medicine sold worldwide? I would say she has some deep resentment toward our nation and I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
So anyway, we will leave early and go to the pharmacy and buy that cold medicine that only Americans use so that we can go to our dinner without grossing people out….. Nov We enjoyed and amazing event last night at Chez Jacques Weinbar. A Top Secret event, as described by the folks sitting next to us. We were informed that we were VERY lucky to have gotten a seat and we believe that!
The single long table was set for all guests to sit together. Each course was served after the wine for that course was described by Chez Jacques. The first course was a delicious ginger pumpkin soup paired with Andante, a fruity Spanish white wine.
