Comalapa Fresh Cod Fisk fillet

The first thing you may notice there was no day 9, well there was a day 9, however it rained on and off most of the day so we limited our activities to research and local shopping to re-stock the larder.  We shopped for fish and fruit and of course bread. We purchased fish Cabillaud (cod) from Maison Vanhamme which is on Rue de la Tour and Monsieur Amand Vanhamme has very nice fish at a reasonable price. I coupled the Cabilluad with  potatoes from the market and some haricot vests from a few days ago.We were off  today to continue our market visits. We visited the Marché Gros-La-Fontaine and the Marché Porte Molitor.

We’er back in the apartment taking a break, I got my wires crossed this morning so we went a bit out of the way to get to the second market a simple spelling error took us on a wild goose chase but this is why unlimited metro and bus travel is fantastic it bulky cost time and you get to see and have adventures.  Plus it adds to our healthy exercise.

Steak frites, ribeye of Aubrac beef

Slices of duck breast with pieces of Foie Gras and an outstanding sauce!

We have dinner reservation tonight at La Cordonnerie at 8PM so we will update after dinner. Another fabulous dinner by Hugo, it seem that every time we go it just keeps getting better.  His sauces are just toto die for. tonight Pat stayed true to her plan to have steak frites (ribeye of Aubrac beef), while it is always my plan I can never pass up his special plats.  Tonight Pat had a Velouté of écraser butternut, made from a squash grown in a friend garden at 800 feet and then steamed and mixed with a bit of cream and sugar.  The soup was OUTSTANDING! I started with the salted trumpet mushroom sautéed with butter, white wine and a bit of cumin, followed by the Margret of canard with slices of Foie Gras in a sauce that was incredible, along with scallop potatoes, braised turnips and red beans cooked with a piece of smoked meat that could satisfy the most discerning  southerner.
