A Very Short Trip to Burgundy - Saturday, 9 November


Tonight, a big ‘ol’ cauldron of steaming Bœuf bourguignon, the specialty of the house at Au Bourguignon du Marais, less than a block from my apartment.  Big chunks of succulent beef, carrots, small potatoes, onions, lardons (bacon), rich silky deep sauce.  Slices of baguette.  I couldn’t eat the whole thing.  A rich fruity Bourgogne Côtes Chalonnaises Rouge Domaine Venot.  Espresso with a small bittersweet chocolate.  Only €38 (about $40).

It’s 52 degrees F. but I still love eating outside whenever I can.  Especially when the food is so warming.

And I hear the giant bells of Notre Dame ringing from just a few blocks away (they returned to service this week!).  Aahhh, gradual restoration of the spirit and body continues.
