LA French dining


... at Loupiotte, on Vermont, in Los Feliz, and very near to us.  We met good friends there for dinner tonight: I have to say, for excellence in French bistro food in the US, it would be hard to beat Le Pommier, back in Eldorado, and Loupiotte didn't come close to that.  But the tables were very pretty; the wine excellent, and it felt good to be back ... Or that would be the sentimental take on it.  In point of fact, while the evening was excellent, we each of us spent over two hours at the dentist's, and my mouth was barely un-numb enough to eat; and we also spent a great deal of the day angsting about the fate of four large boxes that we'd had UPS ship from NM: one arrived yesterday (it transpired) - dropped over the gate of a neighbor who is out of town.  Miraculously, the other three turned up this evening, so a miscellaneous collection of library books and shoes are not lost in the wilds.  But it was good to have a drink in front of us ...
