BALTHAZAR'S BREAD.. @ 4 - 6. Gt. RUSSELL STREET, LONDON WC2B 5HZ.

All is revealed!

Ah-ha.. in my last post I wrote that she had dined at Balthazar in Covent Garden on Saturday night, she was with Bob and Tom who were visiting from New York.

She hasn't been to either Balthazar or The Waverly Inn but thought that it would be fun for the men to see how Keith McNally's London edition of Balthazar compared to the NY one. Food delicious, decor identical, staff attentive.. what more could you want?

Well, if you read yesterdays' post you would have read how she fell head first into the bread basket and ate most of it.. it was a large basket and full to the brim when it first appeared.. and she told me it was the best ever restaurant bread she had ever eaten.

Well.. surprise surprise.. now she tells me that she's been told by a friend, who goes out and about much more that she does, that Balthazar MAKES its' own bread! Their 'Boulangerie'.. French for Bakery.. is next door to the restaurant and sells that heavenly bread.. OH DEAR..

So I have told her that if she wants that bread.. she has to do at least three times round the block at double fast speed OR she has to walk to and from Gt. Russell Street.. with no sliding up onto a red bus or down underground into the Tube!

But now she has to go to the Library, there are books to change and a time to check for a lecture being given by Jayne Shrimpton on October 24th.. she's just checked on line, it starts at 2.00pm. Location Chelsea Library, Old Town Hall, Kings Road, SW3.

Whoosh.. Zoom.. (huh.. not much zooming being done around here, we're having a slow start!)

GeeGee Parrot.
