Simply Life – sorry for the drool factor!

Véronique – Rocher de Cancale is wonderful! And it was so great to meet you too!

Steve – that is ONE serving of crème brûlée, thanks very much!!! And yes, there IS too much foie gras when it's in everything…

Natalie – I love a good croque!

Best Family – we fell in love with the goat cheese snacks!

Kate – it was sooooo wonderful to meet you and Dan – thanks for coming over!

Penny – I KNOW – why can't we get cool flavours like goat cheese in other countries????

Paris Breakfasts – thank you

Jen – oh you MUST try to get to Paris someday – you would LOVE it!

Neil – meeting blogger friends is always good especially when it involves food and drinks! And yes, you DO owe me a post!

Looking at my week of eats, it doesn't at all appear to be excessive to me. Life as it should be.

Not sure if Steve or Cathy will see this comment now, but the fois gras comment turned out to be MOST ironic. We left for Alicia and Mardi: menu of course was fine for me. Then lo and behold later both get hit with baked fois gras at the Electrolux event. (More later – I owe a guest post.) And Steve, the slice was about the size of a steak. I kid you not.

Veronique, if you see this — was great meeting you, and thanks muchly for the Dinan restaurant reco. We had a grand meal. (Post to follow, I'm sure.)

Kate/Dan – delight meeting you as well.

I must say the two days meeting Mardi's blogger friends had this surreal "pen pal" feel about it, in a modern techy way.
