French quarantine 2.0, day 16

14,223 steps 

It's feeling festive in our apartment. Our miniature Christmas tree is up (all of 2 feet high, left from a previous renter). Paper snowflakes are hanging on the windows and doorways. That's the extent of our Christmas decorations; there's no space for anything else! 

We went to the chateau after lunch and ran into several friends and acquaintances--as usual. Inga and Eric stayed the longest and ended up getting invited to a birthday party. They also played pickup soccer with a group of boys, and Inga schooled them all. 

We did meal planning this evening, and every child had to plan a menu that they will cook. 
  • Ivy: radicchio risotto, lebkuchen 
  • Inga: pirate chicken, galette des Rois 
  • Dio: tortellini with pesto, tiramisu 
  • Zari: tian, tarte au citron 
  • Rixa: ricotta & spinach tart 
  • Eric: salmon mussel quiche, peach ice cream floats 
And a few pictures:
