a trek downtown
dinner last night at Corton, with A Hero of D-Day and his Devoted Spouse, two of our favorite people. Dining room was half empty. Two of us started with a large melon-ball shaped serving of foie gras, wrapped in beet jelly, on a plate garnished by Tinkerbelle -- much better than it sounds! And two had a warm poached pheasant egg in cream soup with ... well, lots of things, reminded the Diner of leftover plates (albeit v.high quality leftovers). Mains were much more successful - 3 rabbit, 1 sturgeon. And v. generous portions. No complaints from Hero, his Devoted Spouse charming and ironic as usual. Came home full, tired, happy.

As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, if you've got anything bad to say, sit next to me! No, really, please remember to be kind, and don't say anything fred's mother would not approve of (Diner's mom didn't approve of anything. Including fred.)
