Ok, so I've got some foie gras, salumi and pretty goo blue cheese in my fridge and what's not to love about a place where a glass of wine is $3, though never mind that a whole bottle is $3 at the supermarche. But seriously the food I've been eating, so far there have definitely been two meals to write home about. The other night Caroline and I ate at this amazing restaurant, where we had escargot and then Chateau Brianand. A delicious perfectly cooked filet of beef with foie gras on top surrounded by broccolli and mushrooms. Finished off by a chocolate souffle with pistacio cream. A-maz-ing! The second fantastic meal was a restaurant in the marais that was recommended to us and did not disappoint. A Pasitits of duck confit and again foie gras in a curry sauce. It was like a little present on the plate, wrapped in it's own package and filled with juliened carrots and deliciousness. While we both still don't fully understand everything that is on the menu, we still have been eating well.
Caroline is heart-broken like me, and together we practice french and discuss our coeur brise while we see beauty all around us. As she is Brazilian we speak a combination of european english and bad french. It occurs to me that learning a new language is much like getting over love you have to train yourself to think in a new way. The other day, I had my first dream in French, which I take to be a very good sign that I may actually somehow be learning this crazy language of love as they say. The weather has been rainy, grey and cold, but as my nana says the rain washes away all that was bad so that you may start fresh, it makes sure that you are clean and it certainly feels that way as I await the sun and the warmer days of new.
