Paris

I am longing for Paree...  crusty baguettes smothered in creamy butter.  Oui!  Paris is the city of romance and of food, which make a perfect match.  Ryan made a simple and delicious pasta dish tonight.  Whole wheat penne with asparagus, mushroom, and onion sauteed in lemon and balsamic and topped with fresh basil cut from our garden.  The mild-licorice hint of basil mixed with the crisp refreshing taste of lemon.  MMMM!  Paired with a nice California red and a simple meal becomes decadent.

I love food and I love Paris.  I want both together.
