Joan,
Have a great time on this trip. The view from your apartment looks familiar, I am trying guess which PP apartment it is. We are still on track for a week in September.

OK you followers..

What a nice evening. Dona and Alan arrived and we had some sparking Loire wine La Taille aux Loups..quite nice and our pistachios...can't ruin an upcoming good meal with anything heavier!

We had earlyish reservations..8:00 and I think Dona and Alan enjoyed the atmosphere of Cassenoix. We did spend the vening as it is now after 11:00..but that is the way we like in in France and as the French do!!

We discussed lots of travel and dining spots and have many of the same interests etc. Mellen, you have met them in your DC get togethers.

Now for the photos.

Cassenoix with Dona and Alan – 2/12/2013

I missed the Butternut soup that Dona and I had..excellent

Here is Alan’s starter..foix gras

Dona and I had the duck..excellent, so we both thought

Lost Alan’s Steak

Dona and I had for dessert and Alan had cheese

We did have a nice evening!

A bientot…

HI Joan I have a favour to ask of you. Would you buy me the February issue of Elle magazine? I would certainly appreciate it . You can send it to me when I get home and I will reinburse you. INES DE LA FRANSAGE is on the cover. I had my picture taken with her so would love to have the magazine. I tried to buy it on amazon but could not. Thank you....

Up late last night.

Went out for breakfast and walked over to Davoli a bit later to look at goodies.

I bought duck with peaches and sauce...I had some for lunch here in the apartment. Saved half of it, as just oo much!

Cold out.....

Oh Joan,
I love hearing of your dining experiences. I get lots of restaurants on my list after seeing your pictures.
I will be back in. May.
Where is your apartment with that great view?

I just made an early morning call to Alain Milliat for a lunch reservation. OK, I have it for 1:00 today.

I am looking forward to giving this a try. I think it might be a good 'discovery'!

Must get dressed and go down below to the bakery for my morning croissants...

a bientot....

OK...a really nice lunch. Pat/Jim..a find for us... you will enjoy. On the coner of Grennell and Duvivier. I think there had been some sort of funky place before. Big curved top windows...Nice place. Going to go there next Friday for dinner..just need a headcount at the moment.

Dona/Alan..they have Sat/Sun brunch..you might want to think about it with your friends.

Plat – If I am correct it was St Pierre..very nice

I was enjoying the place so much that I also had dessert and a café crème

Also a very pleasant Sancerre.

A rather damp day..drizzle..not too cold.

Stopped by Violon and chatted with Aalexandre. He is off next week skiing...

a bientot...

Another beautiful sunny day in Paris. The outside tables fill up with all enjoying the sunshine.

I took a nice long walk and then ended up at Davoli on rue Cler. Picked up the macaroni/foie gras and some carrots. Does this count that I cooked? I did heat it up! Enjoed it, too...

Lovely food pictures Joan. We will be there March 12. Heading to Rome March 1 first. I am going to have to e-mail Catherine Reed so that we can definitely have dinner while we were there. Her food is so good. Enjoy Paris!!
