My Belated Tribute To Lee Radziwill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      The event was planned for weeks in advance, darlings, long before Lee passed, but her passing made for this to be my way of honoring her memory.

                                       My David had planned to take this past week off, and, as he had never been there, decided that, on Thursday, he wanted to have lunch at La Grenouille.  As I had not been there in at least twenty years, and, even back in the day, when more establishments of its type abounded, thought it the best of the lot.

                                        Our expectations were satisfied.  The flowered elegance, and muted lighting, showcasing all the colors, still remains. So does the cuisine.  We went simple--a Cheese Souffle for an appetizer, Quenelles in Cream Sauce, with Rice, for David, and a Bouef Bourguignon for me.  We topped that off with Oeuf A La Neige (Floating Island--which I have had, and theirs is delicious!!!!!) for David, and a Lemon Tart With Raspberries, In Raspberry Sauce, for yours truly.  Their decaf coffee was full bodied, and the little Petit Fours were scrumptious.

                                           Of course, we had wine with our meal, and when we toasted, we raised our glasses in memory of Lee.  How happy I would have been had she suddenly popped in.

                                           But, then, for all I know, maybe she was there....in spirit.

                                           Here's to honoring you, Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
