The big news that is keeping us glued to the TV is the Olympique in Pekin. Have you ever witness a more beautiful spectacle that was displayed at the opening ceremony on Friday. From France Pekin is 6 hours ahead but TF2 brings the games direct from start to finish. We are of course following the Russian invasion of Georgia as I'm sure you are also. I remember Georgians with great compassion and hope that NATO will come to their aide.
Just received a telephone call Alice, she is now sitting on Delta Airline at the Paris airport waiting for take-off to Miami where she returns to her teaching job tomorrow. She is equally passionate with France as I am and spends all of her holidays in France and Italy.
The pleasure was our on Thursday as the wind died down and allow us to enjoy lunch on the terrace with friends from Aix-en-Provence Claude & Paulette, Claude from Saint Raphael and Alice from Miami. I duplicated Chef Paula's Sword fish receipt and for starter Chef Warren La Ruth of New Orleans' Shrimp Remoulade, Picards grilled vegetables and assorted cheeses. The desert was to die for from our local patisserie Cochet, a three chocolate and rasberry tarte. By 8:30 PM Alice was on her way to Saint Remo, Italy and Claude, Paulette,and Claude were back home.
Have a great Week!
