A real French dinner...with a Canadian twist

One of the main people, on this side of the ocean, involved in bringing import players over to the Asnieres Hockey Club is Robert Guimond, a fellow Canadian who is now living in Paris with his French-born wife Corrine, who grew up in Toronto and speaks true Canadian english with a slightly eastern accent. After practice on Friday evening, Robert and Corrine invited the imports and their sigficant others over to their place for dinner along with the team president, Mr. Christophe Cuzin.

It was a fabulous meal as Corrine prepared a pasta salad, chicken curry, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, salmon quiche, and a fabulous saussage and spinach pasta dish. It was a feast for kings. Of course I can't forget the fabulous dessert of terramiso and fresh fruit. Unfortunatly, I didn't bring my camera to record the fabulous evening, however was able to get a few pictures from Angelique (girlfriend of Andronik), one of the Frat House roomates. It was a true French meal with a slightly Canadian twist.
