Texas Chili Chez Nous

What can be better on a day of 90 degree (32C) heat than some good old Texas Chili. We make it without beans, just chopped beef and spices topped with genuine cheddar cheese from the USA...yummmm. Of course, what would go well as an aperitif but a pitcher of homemade maragaritas made with Jose Cuervo gold tequila in Bill's own recipe.

We eat very well!

It seems that the majority of our posting revolve around food. I'm not complaining, but just stating a fact.
There are some delicious ethnic local specialties which, although available in nearby restaurants, are so much better when prepared by friends for friends. This is the case with the Valencia Paella from Antoine & Esther as well as delicious Armenian specialties from Alice & Jean and thick hearty Pot au Feu from Armand & Keiko.

Without a doubt we eat very well here and, joking aside(yeah, I know it shows), it's not difficult to have a good meal here considering the ready availability of fresh locally grown ingredients as well as huge Saturday market for that and much more.

Dinner at Lisa M's in Vers

Lisa M is one of our favorite restaurants near Uzes. It's a "menu unique" and depends a great deal on local farmers for each day's offerings. Our friends visiting from Calgary, Giselle & Marco, set up an amazing evening amongst good friends that will not be forgotten.

Lunch at Malcolm's

It's nice to have good friends and even nicer if they can cook. Lunch at Malcolm's beautiful home in St. Laurent La Vernede is always a delicious experience with excellent "aperos" around a bit of bubbly followed by a wonderful meal & wine in delightful company. Thanks again Malcolm.
