Wine at Frenchie
At least I took a picture of the wine since I ignored the surroundings, the interior, our friends, my wife, the cuisine (sorry Jon, Olaf, Sophie).
I remember they served delicious appetisers with mackerel and carrots involved.
Steak for me, then later, while walking to the Metro, somehow upsetting a prostitute. Something about not liking her picture taken - adamant in fact, even though I was photographing the ancient wall she was leaning on. There's so much to learn in a foreign country. Glad Sophie and the boys kept me safe.
Hope our friends return to Paris; it's always a good time.
Musée du Quai Branly
Nice collection of Oceanic art with much from Papua New Guinea, and in need of more from New Caledonia, but great to see - even some of Australia's Aboriginal works.
Also beaucoup from Africa, and some from India, Thailand, and many other Asian countries.
Rice & Beans
Delicious! Wow, I ate a Chorizo Burrito du Jour - deconstructed per my request as I am not eating corn, or flour based foods right now - Thanks guys.
So I ate all the veggies , chorizo, guacamole, salsa, and loved it. Sophie enjoyed the chicken burrito, and we also ordered the guacamole w/chips appetizer - mmmmmm.
Also valuable mention: home made salsa, not too hot, but spicy. Nice.
snow chevaux
Sophie loves these little French cars called deux chevaux (yep, literally 2 horses). they stay on the road for so long because they are so easy to fix.
Drivers must stop them like Fred Flintstone.
Sophie cred du rue
This is a pic of Sophie working on her Parisian street cred drinking outside in the cold and rain. Of course there's much work to be done as it isn't coffee or wine, and the store ain't very french.
La Grille
We ate a lovely dinner at La Grille in Paris on Saturday where we enjoyed everything and highly recommend to everyone. Not too expensive, easy to relax, and great food.
Red wine: 2006 Le haut médoc de Giscours, haut médoc
(Sophie approved )
Entree: Leek vinaigrette
Clean, fresh, delicious
Turbot for 2 - a must
Chocolate dessert with raspberry coulis - magnifique, think a smooth chocolate between fudge and well, i dunno. No sugary grit. Slim but all chocolate, not sweet so not to ruin the framboise.
New rule, no scanners
New rule as I brought it here in September, then we bought an all in one printer - hey, she could carry wine instead if we knew!
Robin Hood a la France
Robin Hood becomes Robin des bois which Google then translates as Robin of wood. Yes, you heard me chuckle. Does anyone else envision a new Robin de Brooklyn, wearing tights, with a long dark coat and automatic weapons? maybe he already left Batman for this.
Airport to France
scanning pictures
At home, scanning pictures, of family times, with Loki on top, lemon yellow pee, leg raised in a V
Easy smell
Leaving beautiful Greece, and smelling France while only just sitting on the runway.
Anniversary Lush
Wonderful dinner at south African restaurant in Ft. Greene called Madiba. Smashing drinks, too.
Loki
testing out the send by email feature this post has, and looking on the Mac for an image has led me to Loki.Not many images of anything on the Mac, so very happy to see one of my boy.
this picture is after one of his surgeries, probably the 1st one where he lost a toe to cancer.Always a ham for the camera, it also looks like he was being harrased by Sophie in the background.
Good sport, long missed, kisses.
