Oh that girolle pasta at the Flirt The looks so good. That cafe goes on my list!

Sigh...

"I wish you sunny skies, mild temperatures, good times with good friends, continued fabulous food and most of all...safe travels. I am enjoying your trip as well and thank you for your reports and many kindnesses."

Karen (rampchic) said it perfectly for all of us.

Oh those pictures!!!!!! I'm dying here. It's not as good as being there for sure, but your pictures and report are the next best thing. Our paper this morning said it's supposed to rain shower in Paris today.

Hope cepes are still around when we're there in early Dec !!!!

We paid twice the price on Thursday at our produce store.

There's a place on my restaurants list, based on some long-forgotten trip report, I'm sure. Never made it over there, but the cheese souffle was so highly recommended I keep thinking I'll try it.

I wonder if you know it?

L'Auberge Bressane
16, avenue de la Motte-Piquet

JeanneB,

Yes, I know the place. Almost across the street from Le Florimond. I have never been. I know there were some mixed reviews about the place, but ther are mixed reviews about every place!

It is bone chilling out there today. Grey and penetrating.

Not sure what I will do....

Joan

I stayed in the area todaydoing all my little things. Stopped on the corner to the brasserie and had lunch...

So many people do not know about the wonder of perfectly poached eggs.

kerouac,

Glad you noticed that poached egg!

Joan

Enjoying your meals! Sorry about the weather. May I presume that you have a neck scarf? It seems to keep one as warm as adding another layer does, n'est-ce pas?

Oh, yes I have scarves! Many, many!!

I plan to go to Davoili in the morning and pick up some goodies. I have already looked online to see my choices!!

Wow, what a great looking lunch! That pic came out great, Joan.

sigh -- 2 more months til i'll be there in the meantime this is so enjoyable to read and to look at the pictures.

(sorry for the repetitiveness of the word "great")
I was browsing the Davoli site, I think they're closed on Mondays...

Just dropped in to say hello. Joan!
mimi was is green with envy.

Yes, Davoli is closed on Monday..I think I lost a day along the way.

I need to pack, as I am moving to the 'Cabernet' apartment on Tuesday. That won't take long..

I've been back a week from two weeks in Paris, and now reading (and seeing pix of all the food) feel like I am back. Well, not quite, but this is great. I must admit, I don't eat quite as well as you do. Even so, I gained 3 lbs in spite of all the walking. Weatherwise, those 2 weeks were perfect. One rainy (light rain!) day. Only needed light jacket other days. I never put on my cashmere sweater or used scarf. I think it started raining and getting colder the day I flew out.

Wish I could be there for your GTG -would love to meet you, as you sound like so much fun! I'll be checking in everyday, though. I stayed in a hotel this trip, but next time I want a Paris Perfect apartment! The Kir sounds perfect for a solo traveler.

I have the shuttle-inter picking me up on wed am. That is the the way to go I have had to make a call in the past and do not care to do that this time . They did give me a 5 euro discount on the return trip.

Your meal looks great. I would not have known that to be a poached egg. Healthy!

Sue4,
Yes, the Kir is great for a solo traveler. It has everything and more that you could want or need. Plan ahead, though as it is popular.

Sueb08,

Glad you are set with shuttle-inter. Yes, it is nice not to have to call someone after arriving. They should be there waitng for you with a sign with your name.

You do have my cell phone number that I gave you by email?
Have a good flight..

a bientot...
