A whole day spent shopping for various sundry items – I had to pick up hose/tights for my gal pals back home, and ended up with a new dress, new earrings, new bracelet, and a beautiful scarf 
Since we were in the Turkish nabe there was really no way around a lunch of scrumptious midye & a platter of succulent, charcoal-grilled lamb ribs. Hot diggity!
Dinner tonight was a meal I’d been waiting for since last summer: pappardelle with chanterelles.
I cooked down the lovely liquor too much, unfortunately, so the pasta was dryer than I’d planned 
Oh, well, the season just started, and I foresee a few more meals at home where they will feature heavily.
Side of mâche with super-flavorful tomatoes & cukes in a mustard herb dressing.
Sad my GF is leaving tomorrow already
