Dr. Sue asked Santa this year for a trip to Paris and Santa came through! She even got to go with Santa. Dr. Sue knows she should try some other places when she travels, but she has a mad attraction to the city. Every time she returns, she rethinks food.

1. Eat smaller portions
2. Buy smaller dishes
3. Eat fresh fruit for dessert
4. Return to fat – cream, butter, and steak.
5. Eat only at meals
6. Eat a little bit of everything
7. Have wine with lunch and dinner
8. Go slow

10. Cous cous at Chez Omar
11. Cocktails in the “bar panoramique” on the 56 th floor of the Tour Montparnasse.

When we got back from France, I was inspired to make a Salade Nicoise. It took a bit longer than 5 minutes, but well worth the effort. If you’d like to make this, here’s how:
