Even though we woke up to snow on the mountain this morning – yup! 91 degrees last weekend and snow this weekend, 34 degrees over night – we want to congratulate Le Café de Paris on 10 years in Boise. And what an exciting epicurean trip it has been! Thank-You Mathieu and Thank-You to all of his staff who greet us, serve us and prepare fantastic meals for us. Tonight’s dinner was superb!!! Take a look.

Proud Mama!
Two of the wines we bought to share. Don’t ever say that a white wine, in this case a Chardonnay, won’t cellar well. This one, from 1974, was great and, in my humble opinion, out performed the French wine!!
And we also brought an good Cabernet Sauvignon. We are happy that we were able to share our wines with the folks at Le Café de Paris.

Thank-You all for a fantastic and fabulous meal and dining experience. You are still the best! Cheers and see you next time.
Boise in the spring right through the fall is so very busy!! And in the summer, everyday there is something happening. It's a great place to live. So diversified.

Gee, my son had orders for Mt. Home AFB, but switched them for a base in N. Cal. I told him Boise seemed like a great place and he should go there, but he didn't want to. Too bad.
