Ok, today they won't be any French bashing! Today has been a rather good day. Why? Rescue arrived! Two 73 year olds arrived from Chateauroux to stand by for the D Day. Bless their souls... They have just arrived from a 10-day vacay on the apparently beautiful Ile de la Reunion, a Golden wedding anniversary gift from their only child, and 2 days later they drove 6 hours to be here. Nowhere can you find parents-in-law so lovely, so kind, so sincere, so simple-hearted. But Sha has not reciprocated as much as she should. And we all know why... Oh but today, is a positive day! So, no complaints!
They brought back plenty of gifts, and most of them were for their only daughter-in-law! A bunchful of artisinal goods, a bunchful of fresh local produce. Now what should she buy them this Christmas?...
The French Reunion Island, as we call it in English is located in the Indian Ocean, nearby Madagascar and Mauritius. And as it's neighbouring islands, La Reunion has Asiatic influences through its olden days' immigrants. Spices added to dishes, like their 'Carry', which is in effect curry, their 'masale', which is masala as we know it and'achar', same thing. It's a sub-tropical island which means it is the ideal temperature! Not too hot and never cold.
One fine day, a sure destination!
