Potluck de Pâques

My first Easter away from home! 

Easter happened to be on the weekend that Miki visited me although he had to leave midday to catch his train/flight back to Hungary.  But we did have a nice breakfast and pastries on the beach to celebrate Easter a little. 

Fruity-chocolate tart.

 Beautiful day!

School was canceled on Monday, and my Canadian friend Angela organized a potluck dinner for some of the international students who lived in our student residence so that everyone could celebrate away from home. She was quite the Nervous Nellie about it, but it turned out to be a great success.

We had so much food! 

I made jambalaya, because I figured it'd be relatively easy and cheap if I didn't get chicken. 

I ended up having to make it in every pot/pan that I own (which is just two...) because I had bought so much sausage (hooray for almost-expired meat discounts!).

I didn't think the jambalaya tasted that great, but everyone LOVED it. 

Like. Really. 

And it didn't even have cayenne pepper. They just don't even know. 

A few people even asked me for the recipe. 

Small sampling of the food. Pot in the middle is part of the jambalaya. 

We had pretty much anything you could think of: ratatouille, fruit salad, two green salads, bread, cheeses, wine, sushi, rice, duck, and probably more that I've forgotten! 

We also had some kind of delicious Italian cake and tiramisu for dessert.

The Anglophones: Blair, me, and Angela. 

It was a very lovely dinner, and a nice substitute for a family Easter. 

Tout le monde!
