Kournikova, Betty, and I met at Québecois' house before our dinner at Cassis Bistro. Québecois popped some bubbles, and we also tried a new white wine Kournikova brought over. We picked this French bistro for our monthly dinner because Betty has a penchant for beef tartare, and Cassis makes the best in town.

L and I started a new tradition. We go out to a restaurant to celebrate Valentine's Day on any day other than February 14th. The reason is that most restaurants are far too busy to give us the experience we want. For this post, let's listen to "White Wedding" by Billie Idol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAZQaYKZMTI L picked… Continue reading Macarons and pastries at Yann Haute Patisserie
