Bar Harbor, MaineWaiting, anticipating the food’s arrival, and watching other people eat, can be rather painful.

Bar Harbor, MaineFortunately, the wait wasn’t that long.

Bar Harbor, MaineAnd the lobster roll… definitely worth waiting for.

Bar Harbor, MaineHope you got to enjoy lobster this summer too.

Enjoy!

Uzes, FranceA mix of a little pain (bread), fromage (cheese), saucisson (sausage) and fruit.

Uzes, FranceSometimes we go a little crazy and include some yogurt…

Picnic, Uzes, FranceBut if we don’t we are fine without it.

Uzes, FranceNot only is it all very simple, it is very delicious.

Enjoy!

Uzes, FranceWell the girls shop for the goods, I watch, shake my head to confirm their choices and take pictures.

Uzes, FranceNext year they said I should do the shopping to test what I have learned from them.

Uzes, FranceWe can try… as long as I can still take photos.

Uzes, FranceThese were a few of my favorite shots from our visit to the market.

Enjoy!

French BreakfastAnd when it comes to breakfast this would include the quality of the bread, the fresh croissants, the local fruit, the coffee, and my personal favorite the homemade jams.

French BreakfastAs you can see, our host Monique sets high French standards for her table.

French BreakfastHer communal table was a beauty… and breakfast was so delicious it was followed by a thorough review of the number of rolls and croissants we each ate and with which jam.

French BreakfastWe even spoke to our neighbors, every morning!  A strange experience, because our table neighbors were French.

French BreakfastI’m certain it was Monique’s table, why move from a table this perfect?

Enjoy!

Rome, ItalyTo truly enjoy Rome you should feel free to eat what you want…

Rome, ItalyCornetti (sweet croissants), cappuccini, gelato, panini, pasta, carciofi (artichokes) and pizza… and we haven’t even gotten to dinner.

Rome, ItalyThis is guilt free eating.

Rome, ItalyThis city knows how to enjoy life…

Rome, ItalyEspecially when sitting at a table to enjoy a meal.

Enjoy!
