We went for breakfast at a patisserie nearby then drove back to Reading. The day was cold and overcast so I made a fire.
Jeanne brought French biscuits and macaroons and champagne to celebrate when the New Orleans Saints won the big game. I got out the American junk food -- fritos, Rotel dip, cheddar-cheese goldfish -- and we started snacking.
We made Jeanne play all our silly family games like Old Maid. Here she is trying to figure out if Mel has the Old Maid in his hand or not. Check out the tea set too. Jeanne gave it to me for my birthday. I especially love the teapot and his little legs -- I kept thinking he was going to run off the table before I ever got a cup of tea.
Later that evening, I made fried shrimp, cornbread and BBQ beans and rice. Then we all decided to have a little nap as the Superbowl didn't start until midnight our time.
Back up later to see the Saints win a wonderful victory. Went to bed at 3:30, up again at 6:30 to go to work. This morning at the office I was so out of it that I dropped my breakfast bowl of fruit, yogurt and granola all over myself.
Hope the rest of my day improves -- except I just looked out the window and it's snowing. Just what I need.

I thought of you when I heard the news this morning at the radio (New Orleans Saints winning, I mean, no mention of you dropping the breakfast bowl in the news).
I know barely 1/3 of all the foods you mentioned in the post, but it seems you had a junk food festival. Yummie!
Snow again?!?! Is it going to be another huge snowfall that will cause the UK to shut down, say 3 cm? :-D
