Mulberries

My neighbor has a Mulberry tree - lovely luscious and sweet. The most delicious taste in the world when the mulberries are picked and eaten straight off the tree. And it stains your hands and lips.

Lavender and lunch

What a visual delight to eat at Tootsies. Felt like we were miles away from the daily treadmill.
A cloud of purple lavender, tasty sandwiches, hot tea and donuts.......yum.

Drinking poolside

A sunday visit to Sofitel, was enhanced by cocktails and munchies by the pool
The drinks are delicious, the decor delightful.

Food sites and signs

The food signs and pictures that move us to eat. Food really does shape the way we live.
Lines for food fascinate and demand our attention. Food is king!

Fifties frolic

Our friend Deb's fabulous fifties, in the garden. Glorious day.
My favorite, hot dogs and Pimm's ! It was a riot. Singing by the Lollipop Guild, popopera by Royalty Countess Katya Smirnoff-Skyy. Wonderful merriment & reflection.

dinner at the bar

dinner at Pampas, lots of visuals sweets, music and the sun setting over the town day turns night as we drink and eat. The ambience is there despite the awkward seats & spotty food. lots of meat. good music. barpeople pouring liquid from dizzying heights. love the night.

red herrings

Morning view of clouds over hill at stanford - stanford has hills ? who knew.
Sitting in the car, waiting for the light to change. People on the move to work and school.
the Campanile gives it a foreign air.
The lights seem to have meaning ? are they signals to extra terrestrials ....beam us up - to sanity.

dinner chez nous - I did the shopping - I am an excellent shopper.
Wild Swordfish in wine with bacon fingerling potatoes and broccoli.
tasty dish by talented hubby.
and on the towel of Skinny la minx - delicious chocolate mousse & custard.
that chocolate mousse was so delicious - light as air and so chocolaty - it was like a dream.
life is good with real food.
