It was a few days ago at my house on the French Riviera where a friend, a French chef, prepared an exceptional lunch of fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese with fresh basil and vine picked tomatoes (the starter) and (main dish)grilled sea-bass, home made mash potatoes with olive oil and asparagus etc.

Since I don't have time this very minute to write you a detailed and mouth watering account of the lunch (I just got back to Paris) I will send you a couple jpg photos attached to this email of the pre-preparation of my lunch (the market and the ingredients). A picture is worth a thousand words, anyway.
