Palmyre, été 1998.
Premier d'une longue série de voyage au Proche-Orient. Après avoir descendu l'Euphrate jusqu'à la frontière irakienne, nous reprenons la route jusqu'à Palmyre où nous campons entre les colonnes d'un petit temple. Souvenir irréel aujourd'hui. Cliché J.-G. Leturcq

Vue sur le Douro, depuis le pont DON LUIS
Had we seen this jamon when we entered, we would probably had ordered some just to munch on! :)

On a cold and Wintery Tuesday night, Bistro Vue was fully booked, with a private function occupying half the restaurant.
As the dining room began to fill, an accordian player started playing, adding to the ambience.
The menu was typically French, although the current specials seem to all involve curry of one form or another.
We ordered 3 hors d’oeuvres (starters) and 2 entrees (mains), in the hope that we would have enough room for the chocolate souffle!
The clam gratinée was a nice start. Although the clams weren't very meaty, the flavours of the sea combined with dollops of tomato, garlic and parsley and a light sprinkling of cheese was probably the best tasting grilled clams I've had! The little micro-coriander and drizzle of basil oil made the dish colourful too!
Next up were the posh-sounding Poulet et escargot en rouleaux. In other words, chicken spring rolls with snails! :P We couldn't quite work out if there were any snails in the spring rolls themselves, but the chicken was light and the pastry skin was crunchy and not greasy. It was served with 2 escargot in a curry sauce, which seemed a bit out of place. We were also given a small pot of curry sauce for the spring rolls, but that seemed unnecessary as well.
The 2-hour poached eggs were quite a treat! Visually playful, 3 eggs were served in an egg carton, with 6 halved egg shells holding the yolks and a mushroom jus and air. The confit egg yolks were unimaginably creamy and went very well wild mushroom purée and the fingers of toast! It's an amazing combination. We followed that with the mushroom jus which was like a strong beef consomme.
After a short rest, our mains arrived. The grilled skate was a simple piece of fish with slightly crisped edges and a moist center. The naturally sweet, garlicky fresh pea puree balanced out the saltiness of the fish. The accompanying scalloped potato were waxy and fragrant with butter. Yum!
We also got a duck dish, with a slow-roasted duck breast that was tender and juicy. However, the confit duck leg was a bit over-seasoned, but very flavoursome. The braised cabbage went some way to temper the salt, but we had to order more of the warm mini baguettes to help calm our tastebuds.
When asked if we'd liked dessert, we knew we did! We ordered the chocolate souffle and some coffees.
The souffle was accompanied with some theatrics! Before I could take a photo, our waitress stabbed it with butter knife and proceded to make a hole. She then poured a jug of hot chocolate into the hole, finishing by drizzling some over the top. The souffle was very light and fluffy, almost too light, giving it the texture of beaten egg whites that hadn't had time to firm up. Tastewise, the souffle wasn't as intensely chocolatey and we'd like, but still very good. After the dessert, we all agreed that the lightness was a welcome end to a good dinner!

The brief history of Houghtons- Ensign:
Houghtons Ltd. was formed in 1903. The firm was merger with W. Butcher and Sons Ltd. to form Houghton-Butcher Manufacturing Company. Although their cameras were still sold under their separate company names, the new joint company provided a common manufacturing base. In 1926 the company products named Houghton-Butcher officially.
Houghton-Butcher was renamed Ensign Ltd. in 1930. This was the name of the cameras that it produce. The new company kept many of Houghtons and Butcher's camera ranges. In 1939 it introduced the Ensign Ful-Vue box camera. During the producing times of the Ensign Ful-Vue camera series, the manufacturer firm's names changed three times as Barnet Ensign (1945), Barnet Ensign Ross (1948) and Ross-Ensign (1954).
In 1961 Ross-Ensign had faded away completely.

The canelés are always fantastic here! These were still a bit under-cooked in the centre, but the taste is still great!

Another excellent lunch at Bistro Vue. Last year Bistro Vue Express Lunch was good, so we decided we'd go back for more. There was a 2 course set menu with no options, but it did include tea and coffee this year.

George Claude Lockhart (1885–1979) was the first ringmaster to wear the "pink" hunter tails and top hat. He was best known for being the ringmaster of the International Circus at Belle Vue, Manchester, England.
GB127.M491
Belle Vue was started by the Reynolds family in 1816, and is one of the best preserved examples of Georgian revival architecture in southern Ontario and Detroit. It sits at the mouth of the Detroit River, where it opens up onto Lake Erie, and remarkably retains a lot of land around it.
This is pre industrialist and yes its in Canada but if the US/Can customs are smiling on you then you can get to Belle Vue from the Penobscot faster than Birmingham, and this house has a great deal to say about the refinement that already existed in Detroit at the beginning of the 19th century. The Reynolds had been a prominent family in British held Detroit, with Thomas Reynolds the “Commissary at Detroit”. After the Jays Treaty handed over Detroit to the Americans, a bunch of us moved across the river so as to not get beat up. The Reynolds set up camp in Amherstburg becoming the commisary of the Garrison at Fort Malden. He and his wife, Therese Bouchette Des Rivieres, built Belle Vue between 1816 adn 1819. The house was thoroughly renovated in the 1920's.
Lokrum (it: Lacroma) est l’une des îles au large de la ville de Dubrovnik, à environ 600 mètres du littoral dalmate. Elle s'étend sur 2 kilomètres de long, du nord au sud, et 500 mètres de large. Le point culminant de l’île se trouve à 96 mètres.
Dubrovnik, ou Raguse de son ancien nom français (tiré de l'italien Ragusa), est une ville et une municipalité de Croatie, capitale du Comitat de Dubrovnik-Neretva. Elle fut autrefois la capitale d'une république maritime connue sous le nom de République de Raguse. Ses habitants, ainsi que ce qui s'y rapporte, s'appellent encore des ragusains.
Au recensement de 2001, la municipalité comptait 43 770 habitants, dont 88,39 % de Croates, 3,26 % de Serbes, et 3,17 % de Bosniaques1 et la ville seule comptait 30 436 habitants2.
Elle a pour devise : « La liberté ne se vend pas même pour tout l'or du monde
c'est en partie dans ce fort médiéval que la série Game of throne a été tournée.
