Yeah, I've been told in the past I don't need the "'s," but I don't care.

But why go through the extra trouble of adding it in the first place?

Otherwise, sounds like a tasty get together. And that fig tart looks great. I love figs but haven't had any good ones in a long time.

Well, it's less that you don't need it as that in French, it's incorrect unless your name is "Brad's." Since "chez" is a word that can be found in English dictionaries now, though, and in those definitions, the possessive is probably OK, if we don't take the thread title as bilingual, we can probably leave Brad alone over this nit.

No, really. It's just that donkey piss in a Burgundy bottle is what's usually brought to dinner.

When someone brings a good bottle, I usually like it.

Not all of us can read Hebrew, Brad.

That should be "thou wilt." I don't know what "upon October's cometh" means. Why are you addressing someone you disdain in the second person singular?
 
Who can disdain Lou?

I just figured Lou would understand me since he's been around since Chaucer was a contemporary writer.
