Your description of the book is mouthwatering to say the least.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027900535249246388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1138129112794525392006-01-24T10:58:00.000-08:002006-01-24T10:58:00.000-08:00Lovely, lovely post and "Good food served in good ...Lovely, lovely post and "Good food served in good company transforms us, if only temporarily, into our best, idealized versions of ourselves." is a terrific line.landismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328094347362872558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1138128962283462832006-01-24T10:56:00.000-08:002006-01-24T10:56:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you liked it!

I was just finishing "Down and Out in Paris and London" by Orwell when his passionate chapter on how we really don't really need to go to restaurants got me thinking, "I bet Mary Francis (we're on a first name basis) would have something to say to that!" So I re-read "Long Ago in France: The Years in Dijon" about her first grown-up meal out with her husband. I love that woman, even if she makes me hungry.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007120832939598365noreply@blogger.com
