"There is no love sincerer than the love of food." ~ George Bernard Shaw

Yesterday was a very simple day, made up of simple things that made me, simply, happy.  I really like days like that.

So there's this adorable crêperie just on the other side of my host-family's restaurant, called Le chat botté.  And when Cassandra told me she hadn't eaten there yet, we set up a date.  At 12:30 yesterday afternoon we met up in front of the restaurant, hungry for galettes and crêpes.




To minimize humiliation in front of our french waitress, Cassandra and I selected the same entree with the most easily-pronounced name:  L'ogre.  Obviously, the english for this is literally "The Ogre"...  Not the most appealing culinary title, I admit, but the dish itself was awesome: cheese, ham, and mushrooms folded into a galette and topped with a fried egg *drooling just remembering*.  Yummy, but of course we would not be satisfied without dessert! Again, we went with the same thing, crêpe au caramel salé, a Brittany speciality.

Finally full, Cassandra and I took a walk around Dinan while we digested, but it was a Sunday afternoon and the town was pretty much dead - all the stores were closed up; there were few people and even less cars.  After about 20 minutes of aimless meandering we called it quits and I went home.

And that was pretty much it for the day except on the was home there was THIS DRESS:

I'm really not a fashion-person, anyone who knows me can back me up on this.  I dislike shopping and mostly regard clothes as a practicality, not a statement or source of pleasure.  But I'm still a girl.  And this is still a cute (uber-cute!) a-liner!  Yes, the 145€ price-tag was a bit of a put-off... but the photo I got for free <3
