Red and white
When I was writing for USA Today a tidbit of advice I'd pass on to readers was, "Try to avoid those cute Paris bistrots
with red and white checked tablecloths. As tempting as they are, they're usually tourist bait." But this Left Bank jewel that's been serving up French classics to a devoted clientèle since 1970 is an exception. - BPJ

Blue morning
Paris woke up today wondering if a decision to close its restaurants and cafés yet again for a Phase II confinement had been made. And the virus continues....

Cuisine cuisine
In French, cuisine is a type of cooking, as in English, but it also translates literally to, "kitchen."

If winter comes
Leaves have started to fall in Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Yesterday was National Poetry Day in the U.K.

From "Ode To The West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed ...
The trumpet of a prophecy!
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed ...
The trumpet of a prophecy!
O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
