Our (brief) winter wonderland
When our friend Rosemary came to our house this morning to exercise with Jan, she travelled by dog sled. This afternoon, I’ve made a booking to have snow tires put on my car. And I think lunch will be late … Continue reading
Starting the new year with seafood
This is the time of year when seafood takes prominence in the cuisines of many nations — including of course France, where crates of oysters wind up in shops all over the place and fish is often featured as the … Continue reading
Yet another Christmas (dining) tradition
People always talk about their traditions at the holiday season, as if they were set in stone. What I’ve discovered over the years is that traditions change. During our working years in Toronto, for instance, our Christmas Eve dinner was … Continue reading
Another fine-dining meal, chez nous
A couple of weekends ago, we had an odd experience with the restaurant that’s become our favourite for fine dining and that’s within easy driving distance, O Moulin in Carsac. We had checked out its take-out menu online, and liked … Continue reading

Our mini-Halloween, and two kinds of lunch
Halloween during a pandemic? How would that work? We weren’t sure, but I figured that at least some kids would be out on Saturday night, looking for treats. So Jan went ahead and bought several bags of candy. Then France’s … Continue reading
Encore presentation: La Forge
In this posting, I’m reporting on a return trip to La Forge, a newish restaurant in the nearby village of St. Pompon, which I first described in my posting of October 11 (“Another reason to visit St. Pompon”). But before … Continue reading
