The definition of take-out food in Paris.



   A five-hour lunch today with friends who fly back to Canada tomorrow. This meant that, as well as sending us away with a bag full of cheeses, we had to help them finish up all their wine buys. Like us, they had rented a little apartment but, even though we all love to eat, we don't want to spend valuable Paris time cooking.
   What they had done was raid a traiteur for such treats as eggs wrapped in ham and smoked salmon, a glorious crab and grapefruit salad, a pâté seamed with foie gras and other totally delicious things. We cut the pastries into four so each of us could try them all.

Hey there
Oh envy. Take out in sunnyish vancounver constitutes a vegetarian pie from Capers, a hunka cheese from Costco, some green things from the kits market -across from your old home. More take out to come as we are pulling up stakes, steaks, and have no hope of finding our crockery for a while.
trust all is well
