Over the past two weeks, we have enjoyed the company of Antoine and Louis, two French HelpXers, who leave this morning to continue on their trip north. Like all our other Helpers, they have made a wonderful contribution to Maryville - and in particular these guys loved doing battle with lantana! (See posting above - once I post it up). But they also liked to cook and they cooked two super delicious quiches as well as
a huge plate full of crepes and another bowl of Antoine's Special Chocolate Truffles (using some cointreau to add that extra zing). We had these for dessert last night to mark their final night with us.
So, from left, Antoine and Louis and Glen and Steve in his understated winter pyjamies. The colourful meal on the plates was a roast lamb (slow cooked on slow for 7 hours till the meat falls carelessly from the bone) and roasted veges - pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, honeyed carrots and beans. Great night and we wish Antoine and Louis all the best for their Great Aussie Adventure.

You certainly get good value from your helpers, and excellent looking meals to boot!
yes we do, Louise. It's been wonderful to be part of HelpX both for the work that people do and for the cultural exchange....though you would think we'd both have a little French now after we've had so many French Helpers
