A VISIT TO THE PLANET EA’T’

As you can see from the picture taken in the outer space, I made a trip to this planet to see my brother & sister in law for Xmas and New Year. After we landed in P’RiS, we went through a couple of tunnels and finally emerged at D'UM'SN'L station. To my bewilderment, there were queues of EA’T’lings patiently standing in front of bakeries, butcheries and groceries in spite of the biting cold. Wow, I said to my wife, these people would just do anything to get some food. On our home planet SW’TZ’RL’ND, one would never lose his time on waiting for some bread or so, because we always count exactly our time as well as our money and never spend too much for big meals.
The next day, we found ourselves queuing as well for a Xmas “b^che” and later for cheese, then for vegetables, fish etc. My brother in law looked at a long list of things to get here and there, phoned to his wife in order to check it and crossed the items out as we progressed. Needless to speak about the Champaign, the wine, the oysters etc. Then, everybody would rush to the kitchen where my sister in law was stirring mysterious ingredients. This was the 24th of December. The next day, rising late, we reassembled for a new delicious and hearty lunch. Several hours later, we rose from table.
During the night, I woke up with a dry mouth and immediately had a bad feeling. My liver! And indeed, it was the expected severe indigestion. With over 39° fever and nausea for about 36 hours on total diet , I meditated over some herbal teas, lying wrapped up in a plaid on the sofa while the others continued their abundant meals.

When I got up, pulled up by my wife for a visit of the National Library, I promised myself not to surrender to the EA’T’ling’s love for food and wine, even on special occasions.
The next day, after another hearty lunch with Champaign (1 glass only), Volnay (1 glass only) and roasted duck etc., we took the shuttle to our home planet, to our safe harbor called GEN’VA. Next time, I’ll take some vaccinations before going to this planet (but against which diease, I ask you?). But finally, I’ll take the risk of hurting my liver. Here, on my planet, maybe I would have had for Xmas supper some promotional Chinese fondue. So after all…
UN VOYAGE POUR LA PLANETE BOUFF’
Comme vous pouvez le deviner en voyant cette photo prise dans l’espace, j’ai fait un voyage vers ladite planète afin de rendre visite à mon beau-frère et ma belle-sœur pour les fêtes de fin d’année. A notre atterrissage à P’RIS, nous traversâmes plusieurs tunnels et émergeâmes enfin à la station D’M’SNIL. A mon grand étonnement, j’y vis de longues queues de BOUFF’ons devant les pâtisseries, boucheries et épiceries, malgré un froid glacial. Eh bien, dis-je à mon épouse, ces gens-là feraient n’importe quoi pour trouver de la bonne bouffe. Nous, sur notre planète SW’TZ’RL’ND, nous ne perdons pas notre temps avec de telles futilités, car nous avons pour habitude de compter exactement notre temps et notre argent et ne faisons pas de coûteux repas gargantuesques.
Le lendemain, nous voilà aussi dans une interminable queue pour trouver « la » bûche de Noël, « le » fromage et « le » légume, « le » poisson etc. Mon beau-frère consultait de temps à autre une longue liste de courses et téléphonait régulièrement à sa femme pour tout vérifier, biffant les choses à faire au fur et à mesure que notre cabas se remplissait. Je ne parlerai pas du champagne, des vins et des huîtres – assez ! A la maison, ma belle-sœur régnait dans sa cuisine, préparant ceci, tournant cela, faisant cuire telle viande. Ce fut le 24 décembre. Le lendemain, après un lever tardif, on se rassembla pour un long et copieux déjeuner festif bien arrosé. Je sortis de table plusieurs heures plus tard.
La nuit suivante, je me réveillai, la gorge sèche et la bouche pâteuse. J’eus aussitôt un mauvais pressentiment : mon foie ! Et, en effet, c’était la crise attendue. Avec plus de 39° de fièvre et la nausée, 36 heures de prostration et de diète absolue, je me pris à méditer dans le marc de mes tisanes tandis que les autres continuaient leurs agapes. Me relevant enfin, que dis-je, me laissant tirer du lit à grand peine pour une visite à la Bibliothèque nationale concoctée par mon épouse, je me promis de plus jamais succomber aux sirènes de la cuisine bouff’onne, même un jour de réveillon.
Le lendemain, après un autre délicieux repas arrosé de Champagne (1 verre) , de Volnay (1 verre) comportant du canard à l’orange, nous prîmes le vol interplanétaire de retour pour atterrir à notre port d’attache : GEN’VA. La prochaine fois, je me ferai vacciner avant le départ (mais contre quoi, je vous le demande ?) Car finalement, je préfère la crise de foie à la crise de foi en la bonne chère. Ici, je n’aurais peut-être eu droit qu’à une fondue chinoise en promotion. Alors tout compte fait, comme on dirait sur notre planète ……
