Damn girlie, you make me chuckle. I adore Avignon and one of my most beloved memories was being there, during Super Bowl, walking into and Irish bar, (and now of course I'm wondering if it were the same one) and having one of my travel buddies ask if they wouldn't mind changing the channel from soccer….which the on every tv in the packed joint, and was playing a match between the local team and whomever….thought we might die. After that my girlie friend and I went on a very late, and very drunk, french fry hunt and found them, warm and hot, atop gyros. Love, love, love that city.

Doh! I was in the middle of writing an epic and the battery on my laptop died. So, the condensed version…Just that you are now my official restaurant recommeder of choice. Pourquoi? Because I have always wanted to go to Newground (tried to go for my bday but they were closed–THAT is what happens when you are spontaneous) and just read about an elegant restaurant that I instantly moved to the top of my “to try for a special occasion” list: Le Bain Marie!Not as coinkydinky as with your friend but still…If you ever want to meet up in Avignon for lunch just let me know! :)xo,H

Girl, the Universe has been itching to put us together, clearly. That was such a fun night. Since we both want to eat there again, I think the four of us should meet up and eat at Le Bain Marie for a double date — without our loud Texas mothers 🙂

We will have to try Le Bain Marie. There are several restaurants we like a lot in Avignon but always happy to try a new one since you were spot on with your Cassis recommendation.

I wonder when u will start to give a damn about animals. I have read your blog because you are funny, and the setting is intriguing; bu t you eat animals constantly, you even eat foie gras, which means you are ok with animals truly suffering. all of these animals are as intelligent (if that matters) and as worthy. of living their lives without suffering and persecution as your pet dog. But you dont seem to care. What part of yourself did you have to sell off to make this moral,acceptable and ok?

I didn't have to sell off any part of myself. I'm not a vegan, a vegetarian, nor have I ever pretended to be. I live in France, where I have the right to eat foie gras if I so choose, and you have the right to not read about it. By the way, some people in other countries wouldn't have a problem eating my pet dog, personally, I wouldn't, but that's their prerogative. If someone blogged about eating dog, I would probably choose to not read about it, because again, that would be my choice. I appreciate the fact that you've read my blog, find my writing to be funny and the setting intriguing, and that you've exercised your right to comment here, but the fact is, I will continue to write about meals that I eat in France, because it is a very big part of French culture, and those meals will undoubtably be full of meat and possibly more foie gras (especially come Christmas time). You know who I am, what I'm about, that my husband's favorite hubby is eating plate after plate of raw beef (I've never been shy about that fact), so the decision is yours to read or not to read. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I still have nightmares of my dad driving out of Avignon TGV station last year shudder Next time I'm driving ;o)Anywho, sorry about the full frontal luggage assault, hope all afflicted parts have been suitably marinated in vino since ;o)We've only ever done lunch in Avignon, and I've not come across any of those places, may be worth hunting out next time! (with my loud Irish father and loud Scottish mother. Hmm, maybe not ;o) )

You are right. I was way too tired and too sharp.in my comment. As someone who does work for animal rights, sometimes I find it unfathomable that sweet,funny, talented people don't want to protect them too. Not trying to bring the hammer down again, but i think that it is.my struggle as one who loves them and cannot bear their pain. So that is just the perspective of.one reader of your charming (i mean it) blog. Will keep my trap shut now, and wish you many more lovely days.
