My Weekend In Chicago: Part 1, "French" Snacks




G has been in Chicago for business. I flew there for a little visit Friday night. En route in the cab, I called him to tell him about the traffic and the fact that I had a minor headache with a touch of hunger.



He was so sweet to have fries and Champagne when I arrived. Fried potatoes and bubbly is the best treatment for a headache.



And in the room, the hotel supplied apples and MACARONS! More macarons! How funny and sad. They were nowhere nearly as good as the Laduree I was just gifted the day before (and had to put in the freezer before my trip). Sigh. But they were a very pleasant surprise and enjoyed nonethless.





A great start to the weekend. We then went on to dinner at (ostensibly) Avec ...(see Part 2)



(BTW, I dropped my camera again. The lense is acting up. So it was difficult to manage good photos. I need a new one. Preferably an SLR. Any suggestions?)
