Our Evening Meal

It looks like it was a fussy meal, but it wasn't. Apricot halves for first course, filet mignon, baby carrots and leeks cooked in butter, and roasted fingerling potatoes, tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and rosemary. For dessert a simple piece of chocolate served in a tiny cordial glass. Candles, a handsome man across from me and the Bernardaud "Cafe Paris" dishes Emery gave me last year that I love. I only have two place settings, but that works now that we are empty nesters. Since getting back to my "French Women Don't Get Fat" lifestyle, the pounds are coming off. 8lbs in two weeks. Life is good, simple but good.
