Bottle of Wine for one please!

Happy New Years!! Like Yehuda said, may the upcoming year bring you only good things! As you guessed, it is Jessica hear, blogging probably for my last time in France....at least for now, who knows what the future holds!!

Anyways, back to my days....Yesterday I woke up late and headed to the museum of fine arts. The weather was amazing. Sunny and warm!! First I had lunch, a pizza with Egg on it!! ya i know, sounds gross but it was actually soooo good! It was like a sunny side up egg in the middle, so you can break the yoke and dip your crust into it (well at least that is how I ate it!). Just like breakfast, which was good because it was actually brunch for me! Then I went to the museum and picked up an audioguide for my visit to learn about some of the art I was going to see. The museum was nice, cool paintings and other things. I think I like the ROM better though! hahaha

Then I headed to meet Yehuda to do the usual walk home together. We first stopped at the bank for him to do some address changes and what not. Then stopped at a bakery to pick up some treats to enjoy since I am leaving soon and wont have a chance again! :( We got a chocolate thing and an apple thing. Pretty tasty!

We relaxed and Yehuda went off to work. I showered, got all pretty, then headed out to Yehuda's restaurant for dinner. I got there and it was packed! If you didnt have a reservation, they turned you away! After waiting a little, I got my table for 1 (kinda sad but it was ok) and it was right by the door where the kitchen is! Great seats! Yehuda came out and helped me decide what to order, and then my meal started. We ordered a bottle of wine, since Yehuda will be done at 11 and we can enjoy it together. But for now, IT WAS ALL MINE! hahaha Just joking, I did not drink it all!

So my meal started out with salmon (like lox) that was great. Then I had turbit with this AMAZING mushroom sauce! The smell and taste of it was sooooo good! It also came with a little pumpkin bread (like corn bread only BETTER!). Then it was about 11 now and one of the waiters told me Yehuda will not be able to join me for dessert because it was so busy that he wont be finished until after midnight! Oh well, that was ok, I got my dessert (3 chocolate things - mousse, a variation on mousse and a chocolate flan) and the waiters brought me a delicious glass of wine! Wow, not only do I have a bottle but also another glass! hahha happy new year to me!! hahaha Anyways, with Yehuda spying on my from the kitchen door, we did get to see each other a bit during dinner and when the clock struck midnight (they walked through the restaurant with a big bell), Yehuda was able to come out and give me a new years kiss!! Soo sweet!!!!! Then I sent him back into the kitchen with the bottle (that was still pretty full...so dont worry!) to share with everyone. They all really enjoyed it!

Yehuda finished about 15 minutes later and he finished my dessert and wines, then we headed for a nice walk home.

Today is Jan 1, 2010, and nothing is open, it is cold and rainy and im still in my PJs! hahaha Not the best way to leave France since I cant enjoy anything, but I will pack and hang out here and wait for Yehuda to come home. Maybe I will go around Yehudas work for dinner if he sees anything open or just eat here, who knows what the day wil being.

My flight tomorrow is in the morning, so we leave Lyon around 7 and my flight leaves from Paris at 11ish.

It will be hard to leave but I will be happy to be home.

Miss you all!
Love Jessica (and Yehuda)
