Food, Peace, and All That
So what do we have? Bombings in London, with a local Marks & Sparks' handing out free food to rescue workers. We have, recently, Jacques Chirac, shooting off his mouth about his view of the poor quality of British cuisine. We have Scotland's chefs and other lovers of food from Scotland, particularly praising its fresh produce and home grown meats. And London, increasingly, is being touted as boasting better restaurants than Paris. ( If you can afford to eat in any of them...)
And then what do we have? Tonight's dinner out on the patio in New Mexico--moules frites for us, a Belgian omelet ( unfolded, with sauteed tomato, onion and wilted spinach, then puffed up under the broiler, ) with baked chips for Foodie Jr, just back from a year abroad. One of our four flag poles, the one with the American flag, is at half mast for the Brits.
We are grateful for home and hearth and good food. We wish the peaceful same for everyone around the world.
