Absolutely blank

There was all this stuff on my mind earlier & now I am completely blank--lemme think it over and get back. Hmm, it'll come back to me. Actually, my hubby needs the computer now anyway, so I am fighting for time. Over and out.

The Bistro to "B" @

Okay, food is what breaks the writer's block. My husband found another great French restaurant, Bistro du Soleil, in Playa del Rey. How do you say, "WOW!" in French? I had the poulet reni and it was TO DIE FOR! My meal actually motivated me to do a write up--a big deal, since I have been struggling with writer's block for a long long time. The poulet reni is a lightly breaded chicken breast in a cream and brandy sauce with mushrooms. I had it with vegetables (carrots) and rice. The carrots were very farmer's market fresh and all the herbs that topped my dish enhanced my palate. I felt as if I were back in Toulousse. The only downside to our dining experience there (other than the non-impressive ambiance) was that my husband and I were let down by the bread that pre-came with our dinner. They need to take some bakery notes from The Kitchen in Pasadena. The Kitchen also makes homemade bread, but their bread is luscious--you could literally live offa that bread. Putting the ambiance and bread aside, I hope we frequent Bistro du Soleil. The meal I had was THEE absolute best meal I have had dining out. I am going to find it hard to try the other dishes, because the poulet reni was so so sensational. My husband offered me a sample of his lemon salmon, which melted in my mouth. But it will still be hard to branch out from my breaded and creamy alcoholic (a touch of brandy) chicken breast. We will be sticking with French cuisine--if I have any say in the matter. And while I am on the subject of France, the other French restaurants we have enjoyed are:

Creme de la Crepe, Hermosa Beach...where we go for a mâche-style breakfast

Bistro de la Gare, South Pasadena...where we went once recently for a real deal romantic meal; candlelite!!!

??? Paris/Southern France - Babe? Hon? (Hey, I am trying to figure out a way to get us back there).

Bon Appétit!
