That's what restaurants were invented for.<br /><br />Mind you, Reims is not famous for its regional cuisine - it seems to have focused all its efforts on the champagne.L'Oiseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216440868866176740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10088843.post-1109287693238138212005-02-25T00:28:00.000+01:002005-02-25T00:28:00.000+01:00Your mother isn't the slightest bit peeved that yo...Your mother isn't the slightest bit peeved that you don't cook when you are seeing her!Otherwise she might have to feel guilty about you cooking when she visits you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10088843.post-1109259228289516642005-02-24T16:33:00.000+01:002005-02-24T16:33:00.000+01:00Thanks :)

And I am wheedling my way into affection by cooking for all the family on weekend visits. (Which I suspect my own mum - hi mum! - is a little peeved about since I never cook when I go and see her :))<br /><br />Brother Frog and his wife live opposite the family house. We clearly chose not to take that route!L'Oiseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216440868866176740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10088843.post-1109257661970725512005-02-24T16:07:00.000+01:002005-02-24T16:07:00.000+01:00Hi Oiseau!

I have discovered your blog thanks to Katia, Vivi, Petite and Pat and am immensely enjoying reading your archives.<br /><br />With my French MIL I have finally learned (after 12 years!) to simply smile and agree with everything she suggests and go ahead and do my own thing anyway. She's getting rather elderly now and probably forgets half of her own suggestions anyway! You have to let them know who's boss, but in an entirely civil manner of course... Is your Frog an only child? They are much harder to winkle out from under the maternal thumb. Good luck!Antipodeessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559657306491019975noreply@blogger.com
