What's in THAT box? A retox kit?

AH, that question, heard one too many times during every move. Or rather towards the end. And the end is what we are aiming for at the moment, along with the Blogger's Holy Grail: an internet connection!

Last Saturday our friends helped us move most of our things from one flat to the other, but a majority of boxes still remain to be unpacked. And I just know it won't happen this weekend, as we are heading for the year's first foodie extravaganza: the RETOX!

Deciding that de-toxing in January was best left to others, we are a group of dissidents who have decided to retox. Which means a marathon schedule of:

Saturday 7 pm: sushi & sashimi, accompanied by champagne tasting and comparison

Saturday much later: Spanish tapas, once the raw fish and bubbles have settled

Sunday 11 am: brunch, with a few lighter healthier options thrown in for good measure

Sunday much later, after one too many board games: French delicacies brought back from Auvergne

Complete menu, occasional recipes and photos to follow, as our fellow retoxers might be reading this, and it should really be a surprise...

Wish our livers good luck, while you sip your aloe vera juice and feel superior in the gym Eating.

I DO wish you the best of luck and am raising a glass of wine to you as I write.

I LOVE retox. It's now in my lexicon.

Your "retox" idea just made me spit coffee through my nose, and I salute you. Great idea.

Coffee through nose was not the effect I was going for, but it'll do :-)

I have lots of pics from our indulgence weekend, but still no broadband @ home, so I'm getting increasingly jittery from lack of posting!

Keep coming back, though (or do that RSS thang)

bonne cure de retoxification, alors!

I am totally on board with this idea. The obsession with looking like a heroin addict is just not that appealing... especially in a world of such wonderful things to eat! This is my first stop in at your blog and I love your photos and all the bells and whistles that make it look so beautiful. I'll be checking in regularly.
