Eunice and I have had a busy 24 hours. Yesterday evening a little after 6:00 we took the Metro to Frenchie's Wine Bar and stood in line for 20 minutes or so until they opened. Standing in line is necessary if one wants to be in on the first seating. We met Cathy and Pete (Cathy's my Master Gardener friend), and spent more than 2 hours eating samples of food--quail with a mixture of potatoes and cauliflower--pureed. It was tasty, but very small servings. We also had 2 or three other things--all with bread, and finally coffee and dessert. We, of course, had wine with the meal.
This morning, we met Cathy and Pete at the Saint Michel Metro stop and took the Metro to Poilaine bakery--Google it if you haven't heard of it. Then we rode the Metro one stop and stopped at the covered market and bought wine, fruit, lettuce, tomato, creme fraiche, and a couple of cheeses. We came back to the apartment and had a feast.
After they left, Eunice wanted to go to Galleries LaFayette to buy some shoes like Cathy's. They are really cute. We were so tired, however, that we took a wrong Metro and had to double back. By then the Metro was so crowded that we felt like sardines. We're home now,and a nap is in order,. If we feel like it later, we will go to the jazz club. More later.
