Manhattan Fast Food – Fontainebleau, France
Here I was on May day with a hunger in my stomach and limited options.
Manhattan was there for me with a classic kabob.
Decent quality food made quickly.

As I walked the 65 miles or so around town I could feel my energy getting lower.
I needed to eat and when in Rome you do as the Romans so, in this case french, I decided I needed wine with my lunch. The Captains Croc provided me with a delicious plate of salmon pasta in cream sauce and some wine to help keep me going.
If you are in the area then I recommend you walk over and eat lunch here. You won’t be disappointed by the food, prices or friendly service.
Santa Monica Pizza – Paris, France
At the web site listed below you may find the information to the first sign I saw upon exiting the Métro at Place des Fêtes . Having left Santa Monica, CA 15 hours earlier you can imagine the surprise this sign caught me by. I laughed and knew I must go check it out.
After traveling for 15 hours I was ready to drop my bags off, eat and wander around Paris. The pizzeria was closed so I didn’t get to eat there until the second night of my stay and found Ismail and the staff to be friendly and hospitable. I went back as much as I could while in town. Merci.

RAVENSWOOD California Cabernet Sauvignon
Going to a party and can’t decide how much to spend and not buy some junk wine that was a waste of money and made you the indirect voice of ridicule as the tasters made their statements regarding your choice? Well there is another wine to add to the list. Reasonably priced, decent tasting. The Ravenswood line is alright.
Easy Lasagna Recipe by the Dude of Food
Food freshness
Before your cabinets and fridge become mold incubators, take a minute to check things out.
The pantry The fridge The freezer
Dried black beans-1 year Open salsa- 1 month Frozen broccoli- 9 months
Opened almonds- 1 month Open mayo-a month after the jar date Beef- 8 months
Open peanut butter- 3 months Meats- 3 to 5 days Fresh shrimp- 9 months
Unopened Mayonnaise- 1 year Open Italian dressing- 8 months Salmon-10 weeks
Open tortilla chips- 1 week Raw eggs in shell- 1 month Homemade chili- 8 months
Milk- smell it or give it the coffee test Strawberries- 10 months
Some hints to preserve your foods longevity.
1. Use tupperware or sealable bags to preserve your products, including bread and chips.
2. Keep your fridge chilly but not too cold. The lower temp will help keep food fresher by a couple days, plus who doesn’t love cold milk!
3. Do not overload the fridge with too much junk. An overstuffed fridge doesn’t function as well.
4. Use your nose and eyes. If food looks OK and doesn’t smell or have a weird sheen to it, it is most likely good.
5. If it smells odd, looks a bit off, is slimy, or seems like it would not be good, it probably isn’t. Error on the side of caution and throw it away.
