Comments Off on Tour de France Stage 6 & Wine and Gin Citrus Chill 
The tour ripped on from Epernay to Nancy in Northern France yesterday during the second longest stage of the Tour this year. Here’s a drink that – ok, it’s a stretch – commemorates the unified England and France flavor of the Tour: wine and gin citrus chill.

Just one word about the whole event today – and I’m 3000 miles away: “OUCH!” Another few words: cobblestones are part of classic road pavement history – and should be permanent history as far as pro cycle racing is concerned. Too many of the world’s best athletes got smoked today, including last year’s Tour winner Chris Froome, on history’s pavement relics.

All right! The Tour’s now in France. So how ’bout something, well, simply French?

And now, on to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage to Lille Metropole in France and Belgium
On the food side of life, it’s been a real thrill finding ways to use both the traditional savory version of Yorkshire pudding and an improvised breakfast version – that I’ve enjoyed everyday since this past Friday. Read more »
