An eye for an eye, that's the least they deserve!

Edward Masen's life was turned upside down by evil and hate but will his quest for vengeance prevent him from accepting peace and love when offered. Can Bella save him from himself or will their love be another casualty of his war with the Volturi? Chicago and New Orleans sets the stage for this classic tale of passion and forgiveness in a world of brutality and murder.

Special thank you to amandac3 who made my banner and all my manips and teasers for this story in addition to being my amazing beta. Love ya girl!

It originated in New Orleans in the eighteenth century and still is alive and well today.

Chapter 12

 James Beauchamp and Victoria Badour

Appetizer: MUSHROOMS VÉRONIQUE … Baked fresh mushroom caps stuffed with grapes and Boursin cheese encrusted in fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano

Entrée: PETIT FILET LAFITTE … Sautéed and stuffed with fried plump Louisiana oysters. Served with Creole Sauce Robert and SOUFFLÉ POTATOES … Legend has it that Collinet, French King Louis Phillipe’s (reign 1830-1848) chef unintentionally created soufflé potatoes by plunging already fried potatoes into extremely hot oil to reheat them when the King arrived late for dinner one night. To the Chef’s surprise and the king’s delight, the potatoes puffed up like little balloons. We hope that you will be equally delighted. Served with Béarnaise Sauce.

Dessert: STRAWBERRIES ARNAUD … Fresh strawberries in a marinade of port, red wine, spices and citrus finished off with Brocato’s French vanilla ice cream
