Friday Reprieve

Last weekend seemed to be surrounded by France. After work on Friday we dashed off to view Woody Allen's new film: Midnight in Paris. Great fun. The cinematography was outstanding and the acting ...very Allen-esque. We then dined in La Jolla at one of our favorite restaurants: Tapenade where Chef Jean-Michel Diot  expertly prepares classically inspired modern French fare. We enjoyed the summer classic; Lobster Risotto along with escargot, braised pork belly, duxelles stuffed pork tenderloin and concluded with a duo of lemon : sorbet and tarte. Outstanding.

Saturday evening found me flexing the culinary muscles. 

Stay Tuned.
