At the moment, I’m in the South of France (more exactly, in the Provence) for a few weeks of vacation. Nothing but swimming, reading and eating. Lots of eating!
We’re staying at Mrinthekitchen’s sister, and every day we have long lunches outside. And when I say long, I mean long… a 3 hour lunch is not rare, and even for a food-lover like me, that’s sometimes a bit much. I’m just not used to sitting down that long for lunch, especially when the sun is shining and the pool (or sea) is looking especially inviting. (And I kid you not, last sunday’s lunch was from 1 until 8 pm! Needless to say we skipped dinner…)
But I try to enjoy every minute, since it will be over soon and I”ll be back to office lunches again. Just 30 minutes (including getting the food at the buffet and standing in line at the checkout) to quickly fill our stomachs before it’s back to work. And that’s on a good day, because I often eat a quick sandwich in my car while driving from one appointment to another.
