Honestly there is nothing like French food, nothing!!!!!!!!
My last meal has completly changed in the last few days, no longer could it be fried chicken....it would now have to be fois gras, followed by leeks in a vinaigrette, then a Dorade (fish with bones, but luckily i know now the special technique), followed by either filet of lamb, or rabbit in a mustard sauce, or veal in a cream sauce with ratatouille, followed by cheese, and then either a charlotte, creme brulee, une tarte aux fruits, un gateau basque......o there's way too many choices.....but never again will I say friend chicken for my last meal!
Since the last time, i wrote, I took the boat back to Nice and visited the town, tried Socca, which is the garbanzo bean crepe of Nice (interesting, but not my choice for a crepe batter), went to Marseille and walked, biked, and sailed all over....really got to know the Mistral, the wind of Marseille and tasted the most amazing almond pate patisserie, really good frozen yogurt (the yogurt here is like NOTHING i've ever tried), amazing ratatouille, and a so-so bouillabaise. o the food.........anyways, i'm going to the supermarket today and I'm on pins and needles. It's something i've wanted to do since arriving and now that I'm feeling better and we're in Bordeaux where we can cook, it will be so much fun to go shopping for meat and yogurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
The food honestly, i think the rest of my entries in France will be about the food and probably how nice the French are....kinda like the Vietnamese. They bend over backwards to help you and they're adorable!

So happy to hear you are doing better and are able to get out and explore the area. Are you picking up lots of good recipes to try on me when you get back? I'm not sure when I'll be back in CA but Thanksgiving for sure. Have lots of nutella crepes for me! Miss you!
