Red Mini Pepper and Goat's Cheese

In the pick-it-and-they-put-it-in-a-sealed-box section of Galeries Lafayette, where they also have ham and stuff(Maybe it's just called the ham section?! *Charcuterie), these red little peppers caught my eye with their brilliant rouge and their white goat's cheese filling.
I bought four(1,80Euros).(I hate raw peppers, actually)
However, the peppers didn't have such a strong taste, not like chilli padis(the smaller the fiercer!)
and the goat's cheese was not that bad.
but *the colour*!!! It was so magnificently red!
Therefore I popped out a zesty yellow lemon to contrast it with this chanel rouge / NY Red pepper for this very interesting photo:
The next day, after removing the seed of my avocado, I realised that the vacancy of that seed made just enough space for:

Montmedy



On the Luxembourg route from Reims, I always like to eat at a restaurant called Le Panoramique in the little town of Montmedy.
Thrice I was thrilled by the wonderful service and cuisine of the lady boss, who comes to your table to say Bon Appetit . The 4th time, however, I was sorely disappointed. Before, during the week, there was steak and fish on the lunch menu costing only 11E. This time, they had only pate carbonara for the main dish, which I can cook myself at home?!
The plates were also chipped : For the 22E per person , I think proper plates should have been the basic necessity.
Not minding driving 100+km just to have a meal at this country restaurant before, I will definitely hestitate eating there even if I am in that area. Repeat: Sorely disappointed!
The dessert- the Framboisier, was my favourite, but it seemed to have reduced in size somehow, I remember being overwhelmed by the morceau(amt) of the cake they used to give us.
