"Good Afternoon Ron,- before you decide what you're doing this weekend think about this . . .
How about a delicious Duck Cassoulet with flageolet beans gently simmered in a tomato and vegetable broth and then flavored with foie gras and boudin sausage, top that all with a slow cooked crisp duck confit and Viola!"
"Barb, Bon Appetite! How about enjoying a Surf and Turf with Petite filets and Australian Lobster. A sure way to make anyone smile .....

The list goes on but I did say only four more pounds. Add the wine tours of Napa Valley and Healdsburg. Discredit the LaTorque Chef's Table Tasting menu at Napas Westin as "miserably inadequate."
Add Mustards of Napa
We ate on this vacation in 5 different states and cannot rate the experiences separate from each other. This vacation was all Ron's idea as he just came home a month ago and said, "Let's go."
I was so glad he wasn't on the phone!
I started reading Greg's recommended "The Hunger Games". Sisters Katniss (MEG) and Prim(rose) (GRETCHEN) are sadly separate and I had to called Meaghan to see how she was doing as Gretchen and Josh are returning as I type this from three years in Baumholder, Germany tonight.
Gretchen being the sister she is, gave Meg her iPhone an hour ago. Meg dropped hers in a mud puddle two years ago! I have Gretchen's bed (cuz she still likes to sleep in her old bed) ready with a few pink layette items adorning the pillows. Uncle Greg bought her a copy of "Goodnight iPAD." I am recording "Goodnight Moon" soon.
Finally I found this picture. This is not Gretchen first rodeo!
