FOOD WITH FRIENDS.

On Sunday it was 30 degrees outside (where the hell did autumn go?) and we made plans to meet up with some friends at a street food market. I'd brought my camera to properly document this day, but realized when we got there that I had indeed brought the camera, but left the memory card at home ---- Anyway - we stood in line for 2 hours, among friends though and with a regular refill of cold beers so it was bearable. Finally made it to the front of the Venezuelan stand!  I had the beef option paired with manioc-fries, it was SO YUMMY. They have an actual restaurant in the city, I need to go back for those fries. Mmmm.  Met up with Vanessa, a friend of a friend. The friend set us up when he heard she was coming to Paris, he thought we'd have a lot in common - and we definitely did! I was supposed to go out with her tonight but am home with a headache that won't quite give :/ hopefully Friday instead!!  Skip ahead a few hours, to Chez Gladines with Kat who is visiting from Hannover, Germany where she's based now! Garlicky snails, a bottle of Bordeaux and big talks. <3  I got the same thing as I always get there because it's THE BEST. Duck breast covered in roquefort sauce, with garlic & herb-potatoes. French comfort food :) Yesterday I was keen to try out our new blue basil! I had it with a simple caprese: mozzarella, tomato, olive oil, salt & pepper, topped with the basil. Fresh, summery and delicious! The blue basil added a citrusy punch.  I liked it so much that I decided to have pretty much the same thing today :) just added some avocado, and a tuna/creme fraiche-concoction on Swedish crispy bread, but that wasn't pretty enough to be photographed, hehe.  Now, back to drinking water and resting this headache out of my body.
