Back To The Pizza Place

 On our last day in Normandy, we took it easy and went back to Pont Audemer.  There, we found a gaming store, a fabric shop, and a thread/sewing shop.  So we shopped and had lunch at Tour de la Pis, which we'd eaten at a couple of weeks earlier.  It was still wonderful.  I had a salad and the same pizza I'd had before, minus the egg.  My salad was fresh with wonderful greens, and the pizza was even better without the egg on top!  Andreas had the pizza of the day, which had tomatoes, salami, goat cheese, and an egg.  He asked for no egg, but they forgot.  It was still good.

On The Corner Motif

I'm on the last motif of this part now.  It's been a long slog, but I''m almost to the end.

Buffalo Grill One Last Time

 Since aurochs are long dead in Europe, their imagination must be taken with the North American buffalo.  It's the only reason I can think of for so many restaurants being named after them.  We had one last dinner at the Buffalo Grill near our place.  Surprisingly, Andreas had a hamburger yet again.  I had green beans with my steak, and they were good, if a bit overladen with butter.  The steak was fair to middling, but cooked just right.  On top of that, the waitress was a lot nicer than the one we'd had on the previous visit.

Moroccan In Normandy

 Le Berbere has two locations - one in Deauville and one in Pont l'Eveque.  We went to the one in Pont l'Eveque for lunch during our trip.  They didn't let us share, so we had a lot of extra food.  It was good, though, albeit not as spicy as we had hoped.

Plugging Along

Just little bits of progress on the house.

Winging It

A butterfly wing is coming along.  This will get put somewhat aside now, as I'm back from holiday.  Have to get it into the rotation at some point.

Lunch At The Zoo

 We went to the CERZA zoo just outside of Lisieux on a gorgeous Sunday.  We had lunch there, too, between loops.  It's a huuuuge zoo!  I had a glass of a middling rose and the daily special of lasagne.  The lasagne was okay, but could have used more spice.  Surprisingly, Andreas had a hamburger.
