Hangover and changeover day starts very slowly. Everyone feels rather worse for wear today plus we have to clean the chalet for the new arrivals. We have a morning of packing and cleaning and then head up to the slopes about 12pm. We have a few runs as a group and then a few of us go off to do the favourite tree run in Linderets again. We’ve arranged to meet at 1.30pm for lunch at a new burger bar but we have to stop a bit early as we are all starting to feel worse from the night before.
Best burger yet at this new burger bar. Very meaty burger, pink in the middle, toasted bun. We lunch for over an hour and then Tara and I explore the igloo behind the restaurant – Le Grotti du Yeti – see the photo above (more igloo photos on Facebook).
We are too full and hungover to ski much after lunch and we only do a few runs before heading back. The gang leave about 6pm and meet the new London gang (Soph, Carl and Kate) who arrive just before they leave. Other new chalet guest is Phil who arrived on Friday, a friend of Gareth’s from Wales.
Adam does a big shop and I make parsnip and pancetta tagliatelle for dinner as it is easy and there are a lot of mouths to feed as Sam and Seb who are staying three doors have just arrived and so join us for dinner. Nine around the dinner table!
recipe for that please! x
ReplyDeleteSure thing honey!
ReplyDeleteFor two:
Fry 6 - 8 strips of pancetta in a frying pan sprinkled with fresh thyme plus butter and olive oil, when crispy add long thin slices of parsnip and sliced garlic and cook til golden brown.
Cook tagliatelle in salted water and when cooked drain, keeping the cooking water.
Toss pancetta and parsnip in taglitelle. Add some butter and grated parmesan and freshly ground pepper. Add 2 ladles of cooking water to the mix to loosen and turn into a creamy sauce. Finito!
