I need a motorcade

I love Chicago drivers. We're not quite used to this sort of thing yet. I'm hoping our new President doesn't take the Kennedy too often.

A nod to Fare Photography

My friend's Blog focuses on his love of cuisine. He used to take pictures of his meals on trips souvenirs. And then his wife suggested. Start a Blog. So since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

Arles, France. Restaurant Le 16. After a wonderful salad with a mustard vinaigrette and a boring, dry bull stew with overly salty red rice I was pleasantly surprised with these profiteroles. Soft shells filled with sweet vanilla ice cream topped with almonds and one of the best chocolate sauces I've tasted. Excellent.

Enjoy!

That said and at the risk of starting Le War, the food in France has been very disappointing. Italy has it all over them so far. I am reserving final judgment until after Paris where I've been given several recommendations by my friend Vincent a former resident of Paris and a food and wine connoisseur. Perhaps Provence will yet surprise me.

Lunch a la Lisa

Having lunch at the top of castle hill in nice. All bought from the open air market. And yes. I am missing chocolate and wine. Sigh. Maybe later.
