A Winter Storm - In and around Gordon and Manchester

Scotland - Our Meals

Since we had the opportunity to make our own food for over a week, we tried to make really good food - and decided to document all of it.

Stew and Bread.

Roast Chicken with asparagus, naan bread and rice.

Chicken noodle soup with naan bread.

Spinach stuffed tomatoes, raspberry chicken and focaccia.

Breakfast bagels with bacon, hot chocolate, coffee, and orange juice.

Normandy

It was really surreal being here.

Omaha beach

Versaille

So you're Louis XVI and you promenade out of your castle.

You overlook your fountains, gardens and vast expanses of forest. A string quartet follows you wherever you go - along with Marie Antoinette.

A servant runs up to inform you your people are starving. Glancing across at your vast amount of wealth you reply "Let them eat cake!"

Your people then revolt in the same manner as the revolution in America which you funded, cut off your head and turn your extravagant palace into a tourist attraction for the proletariat!

Pity.
