Saturday 7 April 2012
It was raining when we got up but Dian admitted that not once since the trip began had she awakened to want to crawl back into bed and stay there all day. Too much to see and do! And so, we all went our separate ways that day. Henri went to visit his mother, Roos and Charles went to five different stores for party provisions (the fish store was remarkable, and they also went to a small place, more like a farm store, that specialized in big white asparagus, available for only a few weeks, with unique and memorable, melt-in-mouth taste), and later Roos took Nicole out to her riding stable for a lesson on her gentle horse Koletta. After the lesson they went to visit the other horses, some of whom we had seen as brand new colts nine months earlier.
We gussied up a little then drove to de Tafelaer restaurant for a fantastic dinner out, French, a treat from Henri and Roos, dank je wel! The meal included many wonderful dishes but one in particular was striking and also a local fave: mustard soup. Yes, it was delicious and Roos promised we could make it easily with a jar of mustard, some bullion, cream and bacon.
Henri drove us there by a scenic route and even though Neerkant is small it sure was pretty with all the daffodils in bloom.
Bring on the food pictures!
