So, I came up, connected to the Forum, and I came here to tell you that I am drinking a generous Martini on the rocks, while I wait for W to join me to the wondrous lunch I fixed for us. For her an Ocean salad: mixed lattuce and cicory, fresh from the garden, seasoned with Nyons olive oil(1) and a pinch of salt, hand mixed. Covered with generous slices of smoked salmon, Bordered with the quarters of 6 tomatoes, intervalled by huge crevettes with a dash of mayo.
For me same salad withou oil, double of tomatoes, covered by boiled octopus pieces marinated in lemon juice, parseley and pieces of garlic. The other day the dentist kept her in for 3 hours so she cannot chew the octopus yet. So the lax.
White Pinot from NE Italy.
Care to join us?
(1) it is the end of it, but in two weeks time we go to St. Maxime in the gulf of St. Tropez where I will purchase more of the golden fluid. Best commercial olive oil of the ... whatever you want to name.
You can say what you want about the French and their funny accents, but in terms of essential things like olive oil, foie gras, Cabernet Franc, oysters and goat cheeses they are SUPERIOR! Girls also. Not to speak of bubbly wines. Ah, that is what I would have had put in the fridge. But I asked W to think to the wine and she did not dare.
