The Little Laptop That Could
Last Saturday evening before the Truffle Dinner commenced, I was taking pictures and loading them onto my Dell Inspiron laptop, when it decided that it had had enough, and called it quits. It probably one of the worst times to go kaput given that I had a deadline to meet for the Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 at noon the following day. Fortunately, I backed up all of my files days before as this little guy has been hinting to me over the last few months that it was on its way out.

Imagine a store that offers tantalizing summer fruits sweetly preserved in its pristine state for your pleasure all year round. Sounds a bit Willy Wonka-ish doesn't it? But at Lilamand in the small village of Saint Remy in the South of France, it is their specialty - to suspend fruit in time by using one of the oldest forms of preservation: sugar.
Château Beaucastel Winery of Châteauneuf-du-Pape

MEYER LEMON GIVEAWAY WINNER
Between fielding e-mails about how cute my French cooking instructor Chef Julien Chauvet is and writing up the next post on one of the world's most loved wine regions, I had the great pleasure of reading everyone's suggestion to where I should travel next year. It looks like next year's big trip will be to Tuscany! I'm looking forward to visiting Italy in the summer when many amazing fruits of that region will be in season.
