(I actually wrote this article
yesterday, I just forgot to post it...)
Tonight I'm going to a « Champagne
Party » !! It's my first time, so I'm really looking
forward to it.
The Champagne Party is invented by a group of Norwegian
women who lives in Paris and who gathers about 4 times a year (I
think) in order to exchange Norwegian books, drink champagne and
psyche themselves up for the annual « La Parisienne »
run.
Parathese : La Parisienne is like
a small marathon (very (very) small marathon), which takes place every year
in September. You can run as an individual or as a team and it's for
the cause of breast-cancer. The inscription is 40€, which is
collected for breast-cancer research. This year I'm running with the
champagne ladies too. It's a first for me, but some of the Norwegian
ladies has done this for many years already.
So, tonight is the big night. Everybody
is supposed to bring a little something to eat and some champagne.
I've decided to make « Rillettes de Thon », ils like a
tuna paté... Or, I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but it's
really good ! The recipe is from Arthur, Etienne's brother in
law. I hope he wont't be furious with me for publishing it...
I'm also making my own little recipe ;
salty cakes with chorizo, serrano ham and red and green pepper, on skewers with
some dry ham, mini mozzarella and tomato.
Here comes the recipes and
explanations in photo :
