The Hidden Kitchen
It looks like our Paris trip is going to start off well. Our good friend Judah (hi, Judah!) secured reservations for the three of us on the night of our arrival at Hidden Kitchen, a private supper club.
By all accounts, the food and wine will be superb, the conversation excellent…. I can’t think of a better way to start a week in the City of Lights.
soo… terribly…. jealous…
“Hi” back! I am so excited! I kind of just walk around thinking, “Ok, you have to make sure they walk here…and oh, yeah! they have to get some chocolate there..and but goodness! will we have time to go get that warm to-die-for brioche?!” It’ll the highlight of my time here, fo sho.
We do have to walk there, get chocolate there, and, yes, we will have time to get that brioche.
We’ll have time to sleep on the flight back.
I have to agree with Daniel – we are sooooo jealous. When are you going? Will you bring me a souvenir? I’ve already got a French chick, so don’t bother with that. And, most of all, have a great time. You never know when you’ll be able to go again, so make the most of it!
We leave from Dallas on the 6th (to arrive in Paris on the 7th, after flying through Minneapolis and Amsterdam) and return on the 13th.
I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for a suitable souvenir. Suitable, I say.
But you’ve already had warm croissants with chocolate in Paris. Why do you need to go again? Wasn’t that bus trip with 2 Fraziers, 3 Arnemanns, & Don & me when you were about 10 the stuff of which Parisian dreams are made? Or do you think you can blot that out if you travel with your beloved & a good friend? I’d say that private dinner club is an excellent start!
Two big reasons: Cheap air fare, and a friend with an apartment in Paris whose generosity we can totally take advantage of.
Of which we can totally take advantage. Whatever.
Oh, and for the record: Daniel isn’t allowed to be jealous. He’s been more recently than I have, and Donnell’s never been. So there!
Yes, maybe more recently… but even that was 1 5 Y E A R S A G O! Good gracious… has it really been?
ARGH – I just pulled up a flight for 685 bucks for Houston to Paris (non stop) and yet I’m about to spend about 950 (with a stop in Dallas) to go to Bentonville Arkansas… That’s just not right…
soo jealous – you all have fun. We’ll hate you if you don’t.
Daniel, the high cost of the flight to Bentonville is punishment for going there. The reasonable cost of reward for having the smarts to choose Paris over, well, Arkansas.
I would just like to state, for the record, and to uphold this wonderful thing called harmony, that I did not leave the above message. Carry on.
