Late evening snacks at Trisha’s
We were still a bit hungry after Dukes and Caviar House not really having had meals. Trisha is always a wiz at just whipping up something out of leftovers and whatever she has lying around. A bit of fried rice, some pizza bread and some duck quesadillas. Trish had tried to resuscitate an old bread

Brunch at Jean’s
