An interesting event happened at lunch!
Kathie took me to the "La Galette French Bakery and Restaurant". I had an excellent meal.
After finishing the meal, I decided to get an extra pastry to go. I went to the front and said "I'd like one of those (pointing at the pastry) to go."
"You want it to go?"
"Yes."
"How was the food?" This was from the manager.
"Perfect! Everything was great! I lived in France for three years. I went to an Air Force Junior High. Every so often, my Mother would send me to <French word for pastry shop> and I would get that."
I pointed at the pastry. I noticed an old gentleman was paying close attention to what I said and had smiled at my complements. He put a very large strawberry , which was dipped in chocolate, on a plate for me. His manger handed it to me.
I was puzzled. The manager said "he wants you to have it". I beamed and thanked him. The old gentleman - obviously the chef - smiled back.
I took the strawberry back to the table and told Kathie how I had got it.
Kathie said "you bite the end off and I'll bite off the tip with all the chocoate".
I bite off the end, Kathie enjoyed the end and we each finished it off with two bites.
I am happy that I made this French Chef happy. This was a once in a lifetime event!
Anyway, I should be going back to see Dr. Mallick in June; we plan on ging to this restaurant then.
