Did I mention that my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary once at Citronelle? Yes, but I never posted this when we had our special Leap Year celebration, which happens every four years in addition to our regular anniversary. We were married the French way — civil service (on Leap Year) with a Church Blessing* later (in April). As it just so happens, Citronelle<\/a>, with all its glorious food-art was featured in my March issue of Veranda<\/a> magazine. Here are Michael Richard’s exquisite culinary compositions below. That meal and City Zen<\/a>, recently, both rank high on our list of memorable, albeit expensive, occasions. If I had only known that Jackson Pollock soup was on the menu at Citronelle, that would have been even more perfect.<\/p>\n

As I’m writing this post, I ran across another blog called Eat Me Daily<\/a>. (No, not what you may be thinking.) It’s a blog on food and culture with a bit of tongue and cheek twist. I so enjoyed it and these Old King Cole Murals<\/a> by Guido d’Aquili below, that I’ve added it to my Blogroll. Love the humor, wit and data. For instance, if you’re looking for a bacon-caramel filled, chocolate Easter egg, they will tell you where to find it.<\/p>\n

Here are all of their posts on Food Art<\/a>, if you want to quench your desire for more.<\/p>\n

* Finally, I just finished the book Committed<\/em> by Elizabeth Gilbert<\/a> for my book group. I’m just bringing this up because marriage is important to me and I’ve just mentioned my wedding anniversary. I’d recommend the book because of her thought provoking approach and the research she did in order to understand why people wed and the importance of marriage. Also, I think her style of writing is wonderful, just as she is a dynamic speaker<\/a> (previous post). Although, I’ll be the first to say, I don’t like her “me”ism and proselytizing political rants. Therein, I give it a “C” for it’s self-directed nature and conveniently omitted factual information regarding marriage (there is no bibliography by the way). However, I appreciate the fact that she wanted to learn more about marriage because she was “forced” into it for the sake of maintaining her relationship with Felipe, her Brazilian love interest whom she met at the end of Eat, Pray, Love<\/a><\/em> (be on the look out for the movie with Julia Roberts). And, I liked Committed<\/em> better than her previous best seller. I’ll give it an “A” for her quest for discovery, as this is what the artist inherently does — delve into their subject — and I appreciate her effort, most of her delivery and the fact that her book was insightful on an informational level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
