Le Chef
Dateline Normandy -- The problem: How to combine three celebrations (C's birthday, 5th wedding anniversary and French Mother's Day that all arrived in the same week.) The solution: A surprise candlelight dinner held in the Chateau Blanc library and all handled by a personal chef hired for the occasion - leaving the T's free to pretend they were in their own personal restaurant (and keeping with the French resto theme, Gaston was indeed allowed to sit at our feet). The chef whipped up some really delicious chow from the crème brulee de foie gras to the tender magret de canard, and the service was exceptionnel, bien sur. In any case, it was certainly a recipe for a successful celebration. ~30~
