Day 9 of Nanowrimo (the challenge: “a french baguette”):<\/p>\n
I hid my iPhone under the table, so I could surreptitiously text Gary what was going on. It was rude, I know, but it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t breaking any rules. Luckily, I was very good at the one-handed text. He was having an early breakfast in Paris before his shoot began as I was having a dinner that wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rate many Michelin stars.
Just served something brown. Could be meat. Might be a basketball. Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell.<\/i> I texted while smiling across the table.<\/p>\n
Gary texted me back immediately. Just served an absolutely delectable French baguette\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcrispy outside, buttery inside. Spreading on Nutella as I drink the most perfect caf\u00c3\u00a9 au lait I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever experienced.<\/i> I could practically see the taunting smirk on his face. A moment later he wrote, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d share it with you if you were here.<\/i><\/p>\n
I smiled as a blob of what looked like carrot slaw filled with dried out looking raisins was slapped onto my plate. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can you have slaw with meat?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I whispered to Tzippi. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the sauce dairy?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
She shook her head. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mayonnaise is parve. No dairy in it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
I texted back, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d give you all my carrot slaw if you were here.<\/i>
Tzippi saw me peering under the table cloth. She narrowed her eyes and shook her head ever so slightly.<\/p>\n
Whoops, caught. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll text later. xxxooo<\/i><\/p>\n
A bientot,<\/i> he wrote back. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Try this,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tzippi said, watching to make sure I put my phone away. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll love it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I looked at the blackened noodles of a kugel on my plate and forced a smile. A bacon cheeseburger, I love, I thought, as I smiled widely at Lilach at the end of the table and forced a large bite down my throat.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Delicious,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I choked out. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have any excuses not to eat. One can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t plead lactose intolerance at a meat dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
