13. Foie Gras!!!!! Lots of Foie Gras!!
We're going at the end of the month and I'm stocking up on Indocid when I'm over there, because I'm going to be drinking wine and eating lots of offal and that aggravates my gout.

29. Now that's really funny!
:rofl:

Unfortunately cashews aggravate my gout even more than duck foie gras. But I appreciate the offer.

42. Funny thing...
We're taking our 9 year old to Disney for a few days. One of the dinner reservations I made is for a French restaurant in Epcot. When I told my son, he said, "Oh boy! I'm gonna order poisson!"

You see, he didn't care for the fish I made for dinner one night, so he determined that all fish was yucky. So, after trying time and again to get him to try his fish, I called it "poisson" instead of fish. He tried it and loved it. :D

30. Sheets. I love the decor industry in France. Please bring me a set
of sheets from Samaritaine (sic) (the big department store by the Louvre - actually you can get up to their rooftop at night and see the whole city, city of lights, lit up...so don't miss that store or its rooftop at night).

They are better over there.. And as much Kronenberg 1664 as you can carry. Not great beer but I have fond memories of nice girl from Ireland and a overnight on a train to Prague while drinking it.
