Tribute to George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

It's an unusually early Sunday morning for me as I am jumping on a train to Melun to do a 60 kilometer bike circuit with a friend visiting from Holland. After following the Seine for a while and riding past a lovely old fortress that pre-dates the 100 Years War we ride by this place near the end. The gardens were the inspiration for Versailles but the history is quite a story. Politics has always been a full contact sport.

When I get home this afternoon it's time to whip up a batch of chicken salad with my leftover roasted chickens from the Algerian butcher up in Belleville. They marinate the birds in seasonings that are perfect. Add to that some yellow raisins marinated in bit of Grand Marnier, just enough mayonnaise and lots of cilantro and it's ready.
