Yes, we ate yesterday

I am imagining our many foodie friends, thinking, "Where are the food pictures?"

Yesterday, we had a late lunch at a little Bar a Vins nearby called L'Affiche.

That was my crepe complete - inside there was a hamburger, tomatoes and cheese. It was wonderful, as was the little side salad. I know I am a biased, shameless Framcophile, but I really do think that was the best egg I ever had in my life! Just so fresh tasting...

Tom had a classic coq au vin, also delicious. Yeah, there's chicken under all those lardons!
This picture needs no caption. Isn't this a thing of beauty?
A little cheese, a little wine (a nice, fruity, light Saumur), a little bread made for a perfect light supper on that first tiring day. We immediately chose the cheese labeled "cru," i.e. raw milk - such a treat for us pasteurized, homogenized Americans! It was delicious.

  1. I'm also following a friend through the Panama Canal, so after this trip, I will be well traveled! Haha. The food looks wonderful. Can't wait to see the rest of the travels. Mary F. aka the MIL

  2. You're not biased nor shameless because I'm not even a Francophile and that was the best egg I've ever tasted, just looking!
