Saturday we went to Brugge Culinair 2010, an event for both professional chefs and hobby cooks to enjoy. There were vendors from all over Belgium & France providing samples of their finest goods and food demonstrations by locally renowned chefs. For just €5 we sampled different cheeses of all ages, a variety of salamis, olives, chocolates, and crepes just to name a few. We also tasted Belgian beer & French wine (note for wine lovers: 2007 & 2009 were both very good years for French wine). We all had a good time & Bronwen is proving more and more to be a foodie herself. She tried everything that we did including the strong cheeses and spicy mustards-LOVE IT!
We walked around the city center before the event and took a few pictures although the camera I used has “issues” so there weren't many good shots to post, guess we'll have to go back :)

What a beautiful city. Still so glad to see that you and Stephen can do so much more together. The picture of Bronwen and Alexander is the best. Love seeing those two. We need a new picture of the four of you together to replace the old shot.
ReplyDeleteI can see me packing cheese up when we get to come see you. Might have to mail it home instead of putting it in my luggage. It sure sounds very appealing.
Missssssss and love you guys
Every posting brings so many smiles and joy. How beautiful. Can't wait to come see it for ourselves. Nan is ready! Every day those babies grow more beautiful. Love their smiles and yours too. Great wallpaper. As you saw at our house - not one white wall!
