Welcome to Four Eyes Forum, a meeting place to exchange news and views on food, food photography, the word on food, food science, style and architecture. Join me, the blogger who wears glasses, in this world as I throw out engaging stuff that I think you'll find interesting, beautiful and delicious. As Charles Dudley Warner, American editor and writer, said,
"Lettuce, like conversation, requires a good deal
of oil, to avoid friction, and keep the company
smooth....You can put anything, and the more
things the better, into salad, as into a conver-
sation, but everything depends upon the skill of
mixing."


That's my job.

Birth of Impressionism Fare - San Francisco


Speaking of birthdays, the de Young Museum in San Francisco is hosting the Birth of Impressionism Exhibit through September 6, and it's Cafe's fare is themed to the period. If you haven't eaten there, do.

The prices are surprisingly reasonable, the portions are substantial and the food is fresh and succulent. I had coq au vin (there wasn't any magpie on the menu...OH NO, that was in the Monet on the wall! ha ha) and it was a grand and tender piece of meat -- falling apart tender in its flavorful jus. Oh, those beans! Together with an asparagus salad, it provided a gastronomic pause in the afternoon's celebration of all things visually masterful.
