today, school moms from adaptation group, at “leo le lion” in 7th near rue cler. was told they have a 12.5 euros menu which includes main course and glass of wine. originally set for 1:00, one mom asked to make it at 12 so she could get to her other activity. so we did, begrudgingly, and of course, she never showed up. i asked for the “carte” and they brought the “a la carte” board which had plates at 22-28 euros. hmm. sort of pricey. there were no prix fixe meals shown– so i learned, you have to ask for the “menu” where the “formules” are shown - 3 course meals for originally 25 euros, but that was crossed out to a sale reduced price of 22 euros, too much food and still not what i was looking for. so finally, i asked, “i heard that you have 12 euro menu “ – “ah oui – but only a plate of the day and a glass of wine for 12.50 “– choice of confit canard or salmon. exactly what we all wanted. we all ordered that. it was delicious and a great deal!
then – dinner at virginie’s, the friend that p met in cuba many years ago. she wants me to do a portrait of their daughter as a modigliani. got to meet her brother for the first time. raoul, her husband is from senegal and is in restaurant work. he made a delicious fresh linguini with homemade aioli (garlic mayonnaise) and fresh shrimp and raw veggies. doesn’t sound good, but was excellent. i made apricot almond tarte, which i was pleased to see finished off.
