Today's shop display is the spice shop in Galleries Lafayette grocery. It smelled wonderful.
We had lunch today at the brasserie of the department store Printemps. This was more to get a good look at their beautiful domed ceiling than for the food. I ordered a brandade with cod and haddock. I didn't really know what a brandade was and our waitress appeared to have limited English. I was pretty sure I wouldn't understand a French explanation of the dish, so I just took a chance on it. Turns out it's sort of like a hash with fish and potatoes. It was topped by a small poached egg that had a
very orange yolk. It was okay, but not something I'd go out of my way to look for. Bill had a Niçoise salad and I had floating island for dessert.
