Public Service

In the interests of public service Ive been testing the local
eateries.

On Wednesday Jill and Tony and I trotted off to La Creperie.
Ate smoked salmon galette with creamed leeks; terrific, such a
good mix. There was only one table free in the place and its not
surprising - they've redecorated and the menu is ingenious.
Got away with just under 10 euros inc wine.

Thursday was deferred hobbit night, including Bieke, Kat and
Pete. For 5 euros per head we had whats called kebab and chips,
which is actually small slices of lamb mixed with salad in a white
sauce and wrapped in a pancake with home-made chips. Took away
and watched the programme on current revolutions at Petes, with
blanquette. Excellent.

Last night was the joyful T Rex. Claudine was staying and the
Captain is here so we were celebrating. For me it was confit de
canard and chips and tarte citron which was really lemon meringue
pie. The other two had pizza. By the time I'd drunk all the red wine
I had no idea how much the wonderful captain paid for it all....

The place was pretty busy, mostly with Brits, all of whom were
strangers to me.


Here is Claudine, off back to Madagascar. She promises to visit
again next year.

Its sad that shes going; for consolation we are eating tonight at
the ex- florists by the bridge, which has suddenly turned into a
cafe.
Tonight they are having an Indian meal with a live sitar player -
10 euros a head, no booze, reservations only, ring 0683 35 55 17.

Its a busy night if you have the energy - Margo and her singers
are performing at the Espace Cathar in Quillan (free - subbed by
the Mairée), Iphegenia in Taurus from The Met is showing at the
cinema in Carcassonne and the Fecos are in Tilling.
