Driving Ms. Kitty
We had a fun time tagging along with our pal Bex while she went to meet a kitty today. Bex took the train up here, met the kitty, and liked the kitty! So we drove her and the kitty home to Bridgeport, CT! It was a lovely day for a drive. Other than the 10-mile back-up prior to the Sturbridge exit off the Pike, it was an easy trip. The cat described her confusion and annoyance with little chirpy meows, but was otherwise a very calm passenger.
We watched as the kitty checked out her new digs, boofing and swiping everything in sight. She got a welcome plate of tuna and seemed quite content.
Bex treated us to an amazing dinner at Epernay Bistro. It's right downtown, not far off I-95 in Bridgeport. Great food, friendly service, lovely decor...quite a find!

They started us off with free bread, a toasted nutty slice with whipped butter. I tried the Pomegranate "Grown Up Soda." I had the divine Provence Lamb Stew over herbed noodles. N. and Bex had their steak frites. I tried the almond cake with caramel sauce for dessert, a not-too-sweet bready confection. I tasted N.'s incredibly light cinnamon orange creme brulee, and some of the rosemary lemon shortbread cookies. Wow. Some serious cooking going on. The decor is welcoming...dark woods, yellow and orange walls, exposed brick, good use of mirrors and french posters and funky chandeliers.
We headed north to Waterbury to our favorite Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and had a nice soak in their huge jacuzzi in the pool area.
A good deed, a great dinner...a great day!
