Sauvage & Hen of the Woods



"That's a great book!"
"Yeah, right!?!?"
"I wish I could be you right now,"
"Well, I've been you before..."
My waitress laughed as she walked away.
"I'm so glad we can recognize each other so easily in ourselves!"

Le Gamin Quiche

Leek, mushroom,Swiss & salad


Comfort food for me.

Sitting in the sun. "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" playing in the background. 

This is what Germany must've felt in the mid thirties. 

"What does the chef put into this quiche?It is the best thing I've ever had!"
"I know he uses the best butter.  He has his cookbook here & doesn't mind sharing"
"No, it tastes like magic, there's a secret he doesn't include in the recipe. Does he sing to the eggs while he's beating them?"
"Actually, he uses aged pots & pans for everything. I'm a believer in history. Even though there's tin foil between the food & the dish, I don't know how the transfer happens,"
"Be my spy & capture everything he does. It's gotta be something!!"
"I'll try"

Also overheard: "My Mom's Puerto Rican & she's so passive about praise!"
