Well since my last post I've done more things than I can even remember so let's just start off with some of the ones I do.
I've been on summer holiday to my favorite city in France, where I got myself a tan and a nice new hand-made steer hide hat among many other things.
As you can probably guess, I can't go to France without having a bit of a foodgasm, so I'll just admit right away that I did go to my favorite restaurant there and got my favorite menu.
The entrée was a so-called salade gourmande, and the slice of pasty looking stuff you can see on top of it is foie gras (a specially prepared kind of goose liver).
The main course is called a faux filét au sauce roquefort, which has pretty much been one of my all time top 5 favorite dishes. The rich taste of the garlic roasted potato slices with the roquefort sauce is just pure distilled awesomeness.
For dessert I chose a lemon meringue pie which you can see I couldn't actually wait to sample until after I'd taken the picture.
The other desserts around the table were an île flottante, which is sweetened and beaten egg-whites floating in vanilla creme with caramelised sugar on top as well as a tarte tatin which is a local recipe for apple pie.
The grey-haired man also taking pictures of his food is my dad, so I guess the passion runs in my blood.
If anyone is interested, the restaurant in question is the Saint Germain in the city of Tours, which in turn is in the Loire Valley. I can definitely reccomend this place for anyone interested in seeing the France outside Paris without wanting to leave behind the luxuries of a larger city.
In other news, I'll be starting my education in webdesign and other sorts of multimedia production this coming monday, and I'm extremely excited.
I've already made one website for my mothers small business selling yarn and having a sort of weekly knitting club. If you'd like to see it, I have to warn you that it is in Danish however, and that as this was my first website ever, it was a bit of a learning process for me.
Anyways, it's right here:

I'm working on a site of my own which will be up either this week or next week, featuring a forum and whichever other neat things I learn to do as I learn them.
The main purpose of my own website will be as a sort of combined testing-ground and project portfolio, as I try to become a professional webdesigner.
Alright I think that's all for now...
Friis out...
