Seasonality:Embracing Change : ONE THING I LOVE: CONTRAST

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Vivid color against old grey stone, new against old, soft against hard, hip teenagers gossiping amongst ancient Roman ruins...

I love it all!

musingegret said...: Thank you, so much again, for the colorful and evocative pics.

I'm prob'ly your greatest fan!

Your eye on France is delightful....thank you, again.... (bowing down;) keep those pics coming.

Actually, I have to back up and request (again) some descriptions of great food!

Have you missed being back in Hill Country?

I don't think "we" have any farmer that is force-feeding geese in order to harvest their liver....but one never knows!

Perhaps a new artisan enterprise out here in the hills??

Your description of beef cheeks over foie gras was tantalizing.

Pleeeeeze give more verbal description.......what kind of sauce.....were the "cheeks" lightly sauteed? How was the liver prepared?

What wine did y'all drink with that meal ("that made your eyes roll up"????)

I'm salivating now, just imagining the milieu, music and mood.

As for the foie gras, I rue the day my siblings convinced me to try it at Lucerne, in Vegas. I wish I didn't know just how delicious it was, because once I heard about the force-feeding, my conscience wouldn't let me eat it. I gave into temptation on this once-in-a-lifetime trip, but I'm actually quite glad that it's not readily available in the Hill Country!; June 9, 2011 at 5:38 AM
