The street of crepes

Once we checked into our hotel after our overnight train trip, we started the day in Paris with lunch at one of around a dozen creperies near our hotel. Most have very Breton names like the Quiberon or La Phare (lighthouse) and Breton traditional crepes, both sweet and savory. We had no idea that we were staying on the street of crepes! I was stunned to recall once again how absolutely wonderful-tasting real fois gras is, and how delicious a real French salad dressing can be. I look forward to trying some of the sweet varieties too.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9158200049/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="paris-food1794 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="paris-food1794" height="375" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5460/9158200049_105c47a1f5.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lunch: My galette (savory crepe) with fois gras, fig jam, a drizzle of honey, and a salad.<br />Background: Len's sausage, onion, and potato-filled crepe.<br />Restaurant: Creperie La Bigoudene</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9158199687/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="paris-food1844 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="paris-food1844" height="375" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5442/9158199687_ce87e67d9a.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fish-monger's window not far from the creperies.<br />I love looking at the food stores, markets, wine shops, cheese shops, patisseries...</td></tr></tbody></table><br />

As I wrote in <a href="http://regional-food.blogspot.com/2009/04/aloo-gobi.html">an earlier post about this dish</a>, the heroine of the film wants to be a soccer player, and is very good at it, but her parents believe that it's better to make good aloo gobi than to "bend it like Beckham" -- another concept, this from soccer, that I learned from the film. The line is pretty memorable, but what's very memorable is the DVD extra of the film director, Gurinder Chadha, in the kitchen with her mother and her aunties, who watch and give advice while she's trying to explain to her audience how to make aloo gobi. This extra feature is fabulous, maybe better than the film itself.<br /><br />One of my earlier efforts to make aloo gobi looked like this:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JtkNPAuAFVzUj8pkxgBFaQFuu0Rtwp0E2j_q_cFh8GcYRxMzxGfvBDuaVBhCYgEd8sQI_VtR176uU7sg7VYkHo2Y_TXn8DR8ldDxm6kQbGOKcvLnCa-9CMkszPpKyI4KM0qX-Q-Pq_U/s1600-h/aloogobi416.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329561778997662578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JtkNPAuAFVzUj8pkxgBFaQFuu0Rtwp0E2j_q_cFh8GcYRxMzxGfvBDuaVBhCYgEd8sQI_VtR176uU7sg7VYkHo2Y_TXn8DR8ldDxm6kQbGOKcvLnCa-9CMkszPpKyI4KM0qX-Q-Pq_U/s400/aloogobi416.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; padding: 5px; position: relative; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Aloo Gobi made April, 2009 in La Jolla, California</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span></div><div>When I eat in an Indian restaurant, I often try to sample the aloo gobi, which always contains a number of spices along with aloo and gobi (cauliflower and potatoes), and sometimes contains tomatoes and sometimes not.

Famous German Asparagus

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9117799645/" title="Gottingen2 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="Gottingen2" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7311/9117799645_c7313d4256_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />We arrived in Gottingen, Germany, early this afternoon after a night on a plane from Detroit to Frankfort and a morning on a train. It's the end of asparagus season, which is taken very seriously in Germany, as I had always heard. This white asparagus special dinner included the fresh asparagus, Hollandaise sauce, boiled potatoes, and a breaded pork cutlet. And local draft beer. Lovely! I enjoyed my asparagus, while Len tried a particular type of herring, also in season, which also was on the special menu.<br /><br />The town is really lovely, and was especially appealing as we walked around before and after dinner in the long rays of midsummer sunlight. Small placards on many buildings commemorate the numerous famous people who have worked and studied here. I recognized the names of at least two Romantic poets, Tieck and Brentano, who lived or visited here for at least a little while. The physicists recognized scientists and mathematicians -- we walked by a statue of Gauss talking to his younger colleague Wilhelm Weber and another statue of the chemist Friedrich Wöhler who described the molecular structure of urea in 1828. The chemical formula is inscribed in the cobblestones at the foot of the statue.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9120030160/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Gottingen3 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="Gottingen3" height="640" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2860/9120030160_87ba860e24_z.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Statue of Lisel the Goosegirl: tradition requires every new PhD student <br />to climb up on the fountain and kiss her.<br />She's holding some flowers left from the most recent such event.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Food in Aspen

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9044791910/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="food-wine 2 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="food-wine 2" height="309" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7428/9044791910_abde8ecc39.jpg" width="400" /></a>All the most famous food TV and journalism writers and sellers of chi-chi products are in Aspen right now for the Aspen Food and Wine Classic, which starts today or tomorrow. Huge white tents full of chairs, demo booths, or tables have been under construction all week in every open, level space in town. At the foot of the Gondola, in the main parks, in front of the Art Museum, and in little spaces all over busy worker-bees are setting up things for the arrival of all the stars of the foodie world.<br /><br />The nice quiet atmosphere that we enjoyed for our first two weeks here is shattered. There's no place to park. Even the bike racks are pretty full!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9042568591/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="bike-parking1559 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="bike-parking1559" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7432/9042568591_36cb75351e.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Bike Friday had to be on the wrong side of the bike rack.<br />Though most of the bikes probably don't belong to Foodies.</td></tr></tbody></table>We're leaving tomorrow, luckily, so we don't have to deal with the Food and Wine Classic very much. Both the admission price (e.g. hundreds of dollars just to taste a few desserts, plus registration fees) and the philosophy (sell sell sell) of the event fail to attract me; despite being very interested in food and wine, I would not want to go -- I felt the same way 2 years ago when we were here during the same event.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5344/9042569093_926fcd8ef4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="food-wine 3" border="0" height="154" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5344/9042569093_926fcd8ef4.jpg" width="200" /> </a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9044791828/" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="food-wine 1 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="food-wine 1" height="154" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5469/9044791828_7fd2200e78.jpg" width="200" /> </a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/9042687665/" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="food-wine 4 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="food-wine 4" height="150" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7449/9042687665_5352c731c4_m.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tents Everywhere!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">As for ourselves, we have been eating rather simple food while here, going on picnics and to the weekly Tuesday BBQ at the Physics Center, and joined the other workshop participants for a meal out once.
