Well that's the week of preparings and meetings over

It ended very genially with a members' meeting where we started with an apéro of little tarts, followed by an entrée of Grenier du Médoc (looked like a pork terrine) and patéand a plat of entrecote from a little butcher in Villenave (we all asked) cooked over the fire, accompanied by bundles of beans in bacon and little cubes of fried potato. Dessert was crumble (two kinds), apple pie and coffee meringues.

We talked about encouragement and after a survey of Barnabas' life everyone shared an incident where someone had encouraged them. we were 15 members present - a handful couldn't make it.

During the prayer and discussion time at lunchtime we talked about membership and how pro-active the church should be in encouraging folk to come into membership.

Update : I found a recipe for Grenier Médocain :

Ingrédients : panses de porc (estomacs), ail, sel, poivre, épices Rabelais, cognac

Progression du travail :
Dégraisser et nettoyer les panses
Les rouler avec l’assaisonnement
Les cuire pendant 3 heures dans un bouillon corsé (avec ajout de couennes)
Laisser refroidir dans le bouillon
Servir très frais.
