Foie Gras Carpaccio and More

On our last night in Paris before leaving for Avignon, where the wedding was to be held, Malu Gamboa suggested a restaurant to eat at, a place we had seemed to have passed several times, Comptoir de la Gastronomie on the Right Bank. We ordered several dishes to share.

To check this off my list, I ordered the cassoulet, which was a rich, hearty dish perfect for a cold, blustery evening, such as this night we ate out

Kat seemed to eat more of my dish and I seemed to eat more of her dish. Don't you love sharing food and stories together over a good meal? I was supposedly supposed to split this with Bea, but she was dying with delight over it. And the winner of the evening was....

the foie gras carpaccio!

We were so full and nicely tipsy over the yummy wine that we decided to walk back to Hotel Therese and promptly got lost! It's a good thing we had our gloves and scarves and other items of that nature, as it was pretty windy that night. I worked off all the foie gras and cassoulet by dancing the night away at Bus Palladium with a former collague, Ria de Borja, who is now based in Paris. 

Au revoir to one of my favorite cities in the world....
