Drink Eat Love

Lunch at the Laundry

I've attended a number of bridal showers in my life, but when I was invited to a hosted lunch at the esteemed French Laundry I knew this one was going to be a bit different. Jeff and I dined at the Laundry a few years ago for dinner and the experience was incredibly impactful. It was one of my very first fine dining experiences and I remember being blown away by both the quality of food and the level of service. I also have memories of being the most full I have ever been (still, to this day!)

This Friday I got the "crud" that is going around my office. All weekend long I have been really wanting to enjoy a nice glass of wine so I could write about it, but I would rather not be sick so I have abstained from the "sauce". Since I can't have a drink and I'm only "eating" bland foods I thought I would plug my favorite blogger and her blog: small medium large.

small medium large is my wife's blog. Shauna is a graphic designer for Hello Lucky! a custom letter press house based in San Francisco. SML is about, in Shauna's words, "...designey things and stuff I like." So enjoy her perspective on design and get the scoop on all the new trends in fashion, design, color and whatever else she finds.

Laundry/Rustico

(by Shauna, guest contributor)

We discovered the rustico the same day we discovered we were out of clean underwear.  Going to the Laundromat  at  home is a chore, in Italy it’s a cultural adventure. If you ever want to feel a sense of accomplishment, do laundry in a foreign country.

Yesterday And Today

(ed. ~ Shauna, guest restaurant reviewer, chimes in under Jeff's name. Going forward, she'll be posting under her own. Welcome, Shosho!)

We ended up going to Hier et Aujourd’hui twice in four days (actually, we went three times in five days, but I’ll get to that later). Pudlo Paris gave the restaurant “This year’s value for money award” and after being denied entrance on Monday night (full, or we got there too late…that whole language barrier thing), we couldn’t wait to go back Tuesday, this time with a reservation.
