The short take is that we are in NY, not Paris, at the moment. The longer take is more personal. I will keep trying to find you.bobbyjaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239324384454730342.post-89225464476307324242015-01-14T12:47:26.538-05:002015-01-14T12:47:26.538-05:00Hello from just a few blocks away. My son, Joshua...Hello from just a few blocks away. My son, Joshua Greenspan, suggested I contact you after your NY neighbor, Richard Grosbard, mentioned to him that he thought I should look you up. It has been a pleasure reading your blog, although I'm now wondering about our lunch reservation for tomorrow: Arpege! My husband and I are in Paris for only a few more days, but if you have a moment and would enjoy it, perhaps we could meet for a coffee. I'd like that. If you leave a comment on my blog (it won't be posted), I'll email you and we can see what's possible.

He was saying that he was tired of going to restaurants and he would rather stay home and cook healthy food. I told him that a long time ago in France,restaurants served food that people couldn't make at home : complicated sauces, fresh food from a certain region, exceptionally talented chefs… Going to a restaurant used to be, if someone had money to spare, a monthly, annual or yearly event or maybe once in a life time event to experience a "Babette's feast" type meal. Now a days, we go to restaurants daily or so often to just eat "food" (that is what I call it when it is mostly nothing exceptional at all). Some of it is good, ok or mediocre. Just like everything in life, we settle for what we think is the best, be it cars, designer clothing, real estate areas… I would rather forgo going out for a month or two but eat at a fabulous restaurant.<br /><br />Happy, healthy new year to you both! Wishing you fabulous trips and food from around the world!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.com
