Eating at Home

One of the reasons we decided to spend a month in France, is that Roxana starts her culinary education next month at the French Culinary Institute in New York.  So we consider our culinary adventures in France, just part of her prerequisite education.  That's also the reason I keep showing all these pictures of French food.


Roxana assembled a fine sampling of sausage, a terrine, cheese, foie gras pate', fruit and bread for our dinner tonight.  Of course we paired it with a rose' champagne we picked up while in Epernay.




Ever since we arrived,  we have been walking by one sidewalk cafe that has a crepe station that serves up hot crepes to passers by.  We finally succumbed to the temptation.  Roxana got just Nutella on hers and I went for the full Monty and got Nutella and banana. 



 I am mystified at how the French stay so skinny.
