technically zero Saturday supper - my flight meal was served about 4p central time after having flown for an hour.
Omg we had cornbread and I also didnt eat any. Homemade cornbread muffins.
definitely butter on cornbread.
I alwags thought that I had butter with bread all over Europe - if given olive oil, I still would add butter.

I suspect the French--at least in Paris--have begun to introduce bread plates and butter, probably from fielding countless requests for both from American tourists.

why else is there so much Buerre de Baratte - for a long time I bought the Breton butter at cheese & butcher stores. Now Ive switched to Costco butter. So surely the french eat Buerre on something bread-like!

I always thought it was kind of strange that you get butter with the bread, croissants, etc. in the morning, but not with the bread later in the day, unless it's on your baguette with ham and cheese. They're always very rigid on how things can be served. I remember being at the Park Hyatt in Paris once and someone asked for a slight change in something served with an appetizer in the bar. Just could not be done that way!

and my local “Japanese” curry place (I’m so convinced they’re Chinese or Korean) wouldn’t let me get a kids katsu curry with my ramen entree; thankfully I could just get a side of rice and a side of curry sauce.
let’s never forget the chicken salad sandwich in Seven Easy Pieces movie :-)

One of the best baguettes ever, Chef Margarita Manzke's baguette with Rodolphe Le Meunier Normandy Butter at Bicyclette last night (she and her husband Walter are also the chef/owners of Republique). As good as any that I have ever had, including in France.

Might as well post the rest of the meal.
Burgundy escargot en Croute with garlic parsley butter
Soft egg in the shell with smoked sturgeon, kaluga caviar; absolutely spectacular. The LA Times restaurant critic Bill Addison raved about this.
Caramelized onion tarte tatin with goat cheese; another Bill Addison's favorite
Onion soup gratinee; our consensus was that there was too much thyme in the broth and that Ludo's version at Petit Trois is better.
Bouillabaisse, striped bass, clams, mussels, prawns; the broth was phenomenal
Liberty Farms Sonoma duck breast with braised cabbage, baby turnips and pears
French fries with tarragon aioli; good, however, Ludo's are better
Passion fruit and blackberries, and chocolate and berries tartes

I'd heat up the muffin a bit and use butter, not peanut butter.

Tonight's dinner are some pita, some beansprots and ground pork sauteed with some fajita seasoning (first snow of the season and lots of unsafe drivers as of late so didn't want to chance it to go grocery shopping).
