Perhaps your blog should not requests comments, OR should check the IP addresses of the “commenters” if you feel there is a problem with someone leaving legitimate, requested “Responses.”

[Note from H to M: Perhaps you should check your own IP address, Dr. "DocChuck" Elizabeth. We're now going to block you if you comment again. Ciao!]

Whoever you both are, please take this elsewhere. Let’s keep the focus on food. Thanks.

Louise (“chiffOnade”) has not been the same since her fourth divorce, her second suicide attempt, her daughter’s incarceration for selling drugs, and her mother Aida’s death.

Kindly do NOT confuse ChiffOnade’s remarks with any normal, intelligent person’s comments.

He does find joy in his vicarious adventures on the internet, though. Ireland, Peru and France are some of his favorite internet “travel destinations.”

Thank you for such a lovely blog! It helped keep him stabilized over the weekend.

P.S. Apologies to the fine people of France, the City of Lights.

While I am not an “expert” on the city, my wife and I been there several times, and we have always found it exciting and alive (although usually cold and dreary, weather-wise).

Like anywhere (even here in the area surrounding DC), there are bad and there are good places to eat. It’s in learning how to separate the two.

We have had some fabulous (although expensive) meals in Ireland. On the other hand, we have had some “pub food” that was less than tasty.

Perhaps you should have consulted some of the locals. They are, for the most part, WONDERFUL people, unlike some of the “snobby” French citizens we have encountered.
