Meal #105: Lunch

1 Comment

WOW! This is a good one! Maybe the best meal in France yet! We went to Chambery for the day and enjoyed all the amazing sites – Elephant fountain, world’s largest collection of Trompe-l’œil, and beautiful Roman pedestrian alleys.

We ate lunch at a lovely restaurant that was highly recommended by the Michelin Guide. It was sooo good! We started with the salad of the day which featured fresh greens, pine nuts, duck pastrami, and pan fried duck innards (heart maybe?) all dressed with an excellent balsamic vinaigrette. Then we had the Plat du Jour which was slow roasted pork tenderloin and creamy potatoes with bacon and onions…wow! Everything was so BIG and so GOOD! Then we had dessert a wonderful, sweet-tart apricot tart, and espresso of course:) AMAZING!

Today we went back to the lovely city of Moutieres. We stopped at a nice restaurant in an adorable park. We had salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, Tagliatelle with Carbonara, black current and blueberry sorbet and espresso! Everything was awesome! I especially love the raw egg yolk on the pasta! It made the dish so silky and creamy- awesome!

Meal #100: Dinner

After such a long day, a heavy lunch, and TONS of cheese samples. We were not very hungry. We stopped at a flea market in a city on our way home from the Cheese festival. We bought a few things that will be very difficult to get home 🙂 We also shared a lemon crepe! It was perfect – tender and buttery with little crunchy bits of caramelized sugar on the outside, a sprinkle of sugar and a big squeeze of lemon on the inside! Yum!ImageImageImage

Today we went to the 9th annual Cheeses of Savoie Festival! Awesome! We tasted tons of cheese, milked cows, watched artisans making cheese, and finally enjoyed the cow parade at the end. The cows were so cute! They had big, ornate bells on their necks and flowers woven around their horns!!!

We had fire roasted ham with a red bell pepper, mushroom, and mustard sauce, sauteed potatoes with onions and Reblochon, and bread. It was all ok, but not as good as we had hoped.

I made another traditional recipe. A pasta dish with sausage, garlic, onion, and Serac (a fresh goat cheese) with smashed peas and herbs. It looks like hell… I know. What can you do? It tasted pretty good though. Nothing exceptional, but not bad. We also had a salad. Aimee made a big batch of vegan vegetable and bean soup with dandelion greens we picked in the yard. It was good, too.
