So did you smoke a Gauloise? And how was the CHEESE and the BREAD? These are the important questions.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I avoided Gauloises, and the cheese and bread were both excellent! We had amazing raclette (among other things), which reminded me to do the home version again. I ate many pain au chocolate, and several ham sandwiches, and only two crepes. My only regret! Also that I am not better at regulating my coffee v. wine consumption over a day, so I didn't drink that much of either. (Wine was usually cheaper than soda!)

Truth. Also all the museums I skipped.

Nothing like getting up, showered, dressed, and a little makeup only to have your friend say "you look tired". Le sigh.

Wine is cheaper than soda. Oh, land of my heart!
For those of us who worry about our hearts: my brother the doctor says that reseveretrol, which is the chemical in red wine that is good for your heart, is presented most strongly in malbecs and zinfandels. So if you must indulge, get one of those!
Of course, of the wines I bought yesterday (having a high-quality wine-and-cheese shop next to my hair salon is not healthy), one was a nice white and neither of the others were malbecs or zins. Woops.

I can never remember that malbec is a red. I doubt it makes much difference to my heart health what varietal my one or two glasses of wine a week are. Just don't explode the myth that 3 cups of coffee a day are good for you, I need that one.
