August 12

Some of you are wondering about my meals on the road. Actually, no one has asked about that…so I’ll tell you.
For dinner tonight, for example, while my Dutch neighbors burn whatever horrible things they’re preparing, I am having the following:
A filet of lieu noir , a fresh Atlantic fish which I’ve breaded (I brought my own seasoned breading mixture anticipating fish, (The Loire, right?) but it’s good with chicken also, and cooked in my camp skillet with a little butter and olive oil.
Fresh spinach, which I washed leaf by leaf under the faucet at my campsite and then scalded in another pan in a little salted water.
A boiled potato seasoned with salt, butter and dried herbs.
Mineral water and Diet Coke
And for desert a tiny pot à crème from the grocery store.
