I less than 3 (<3) crepes!

This weekend my new host niece arrived! Being their first grand child, my host parents and host sister left promptly for Paris. But before they left we had a celebration dinner. It started with champagne (2 bottles for the 4 of us!) with these small finger sandwiches which were just wonderful (small ham and cheese things that were put in the oven to melt the cheese). Then for dinner we had pasta with scallops and a white wine sauce. Finally ending the meal with these chocolate lava cakes and ice cream. It was chocolate lovers dream! and I'm still dreaming about it now. But then the next morning my family left in the car before I was even awake.
Leaving me in the house by myself. I fended for myself most days, eating frozen food (I know, how very un-foodie of me, but I don't feel comfortable cooking myself up a whole big thing out of their food). Anyway, Saturday night was special though. Another American was out of a family that night too, so we decided to have a special date night. We went first to this Tex-Mex restaurant and when we went in there was no one in there. We started making our way to a table when the guy behind the bar said with a smile on his face that they were all booked up for the night and we had to leave. In America, the smile on their face and the blatant lack of people in the restaurant would be taken as sarcasm, so we laughed and continued looking for a place to sit. He then asked do you speak english? which I replied IN FRENCH "le deux" or both french and english. He then said in english "where are you from?" we replied in french USA. He continued in english "I just told you, we were all booked up for tonight and we have no room for you tonight, you must leave". I was utterly shell shocked by this. First of all, this could have been explained in french, as we were insisting on speaking french to him for all his questions. Secondly, I understand people trying to be friendly, but when the restaurant is obviously not full, then obviously we can't tell when there are reservations or not. Utterly pissed off at this point and very confused, we left to go find another restaurant for dinner. We found this very small creperie near the cathedral and sat down outside. I had wonderful cider and a chorizo and cheese crepe. I was craving something spicy and that helped so much! Then I had a chocolate and banana crepe. It was heaven on earth. After 2 hours of dining, we then left the restaurant, totally forgetting the horrible man and his "Tex-Mex".
Sunday was uneventful food wise, but I did visit two chateaus in the area thanks to another American's host family that brought me along. It was a lot of fun, and I was able to take a lot of really cool photos! Finally I came home and was relaxing on the computer watching a movie and my host family returns. It was a joyful return followed by lots of talk about the baby, about their weekend, about my weekend. Finally though everyone retreated to their respective places, with my host sister doing her homework, my host mother unpacking and doing laundry, and my host dad watching the news. Everything is back to normal, until next weekend when it seems I will be home alone again!
Peace, Love, and Crepes for All!
