As you probably know, we are full this week truce confectioners.
This probably explains why this afternoon, I served to a dear friend of mine Earl Grey tea accompanied cucumber sandwiches .
Do not grin: it is de-li-cious! Truly scrumptious .

What makes me think tonight I've not yet recommended ( Shame on me! ) reading my favorite play in English.
It begins with the visit of a certain Lady Bracknell, eager to taste the cucumber sandwiches that his nephew is believed to have been preparing for it:
"And now I'll Have a cup of tea, and one of Those nice cucumber sandwiches you Promised Me. "
Alas, the young sassy devoured them before imposing his aunt arrives. He pretends to find out by noticing the empty plate:
( picking up in empty flat horror) "Good heavens! Why Are There No cucumber sandwiches? "
' The Importance of Being Earnest ' Oscar Wilde (1893 - 192 pages)
Level Minimum Requirements: B1 + / (B2)
(to determine your level of reading, see the pages of June 9 this blog)
Once will not hurt, I suggest you buy a bilingual edition, with full text left and right translation. The language of Oscar Wilde is incredibly rich and each page has a lot more fun wit each other.
This piece is actually one of the most performed worldwide since its inception, as it is entertaining and light. It pivots around a first misunderstanding which is complicated by false identities, aliases that are finally close to reality ...
Read and reread this piece or a chance to see her on stage (even better!) Is like entering a vortex both stunning and delicious, like when you dance out of breath.
If you do anything exciting for New Year's Eve is what you need! For 'The Importance of Being Earnest is also a good sparkling champagne ... Perfect also with the now famous cucumber sandwiches !
See my message of August 2, 2009 for another work of Oscar Wilde.
