My birthday in France was a bitingly cold, overcast day. Probably not the best day to take the family to Versailles, but that’s what we did. After roaming the palace and grounds until we couldn’t stand the cold any longer, we stopped for a snack of pizza and moules frites, and then later that night Tom and I headed to a local bistro for my real birthday dinner. In my rapidly advancing old age, all I want is to celebrate with a good meal, good wine, and good company. Mission accomplished.
They must have given us all the profiteroles they had left because we were the last customers.
Roasted beef bone marrow.
Beef bourguignon.
Sweetbread and crawfish salad.
Profiteroles de la maison and café creme for dessert.
Pâté de foie gras, of course.
