I got my 10 year visa here in France and I'm so proud! It turned out to be super easy despite my nerves. The language exam was good and I'm all set now for al long as we want to stay.
We had lunch to celebrate:
Salade de Chèvre Chaud. Absolutely delicious and a very classic light French lunch. It is typically made with Crottin de Chavignol (made traditionally since the 16th century, protected AOP status since 1976 and made in a small region around Chavignol (go figure) with unpasteurised goats milk. They are cute wee cheeses, weighing 60gms. Anyway, for me an easy way to do a chèvre chaud is using feuille de brick (brick pastry which is Moroccan but easily available everywhere in France). Instead of using a flour, egg, breadcrumb mis then panfrying, it's so easy just using brick pastry then oven baking it.
Served with a simple salad, roasted dates and walnuts, a simple vinegarette, bread etc. A gorgeous bottle of Burgundy. Just lovely on a beautiful summers day here in the Haute Marne.
A perfect way to celebrate my personal accomplishment.
