  2. Merisi, I love the way you capture everyday things and places and turn them into works of art.

    Best wishes to you for a weekend as beautiful as your pictures.

  3. Exquisite photos! Love the red shoes in front of the red door. My friend and I are planning an Italian vacation next summer and Vienna will defnitely have to be one of our destinations. You make it look so beautiful!

  4. How strange, the name Babette. I'm reading a story right now featuring a Babette character. She's a poodle in this case, though.

    I just LOVE tapenade, especially the black one. I love it served on bread toasts with dried cherry tomatoes (+ feta) !!!
    AHHHH !!!!

  9. Cobalt Violet,
    I did not ask, but I feel sure that Babette made the tapenade from scratch.

    Southern Lady,
    thank you, a wonderful weekend to you too!

  10. Charles Gramlich,
    my first encounter with the name was when I read Isak Dinesen's (Karen Blixen) "Babette's Feast" (also a great movie).

  11. Mary,

    a wonderful weekend to you too! :-)

    Welshcakes Limoncello,
    a Vienna trip should be in your future! ;-)

    Photowannabe,
    it was a perfect summer lunch!

    Marie-Noëlle,
    black olive tapenade is so versatile and Babette's was exquite! She (rather, Bernadette, the young cooks real name) served also oven roasted half cherry tomatoes, so sweet and succulent, a perfect marriage with the tapenade.
