Chez Machin - Petite Provence - The Cutting Crew



After Yoga class, Cheryl and I went to lunch at Chez Machin on Hawthorne. It is a small French cafe very much like those in Paris. Their specialty is crepes so we both enjoyed a luncheon crepe filled with seafood, mushrooms and spinach.

Hawthorne is a street filled with small boutiques of every kind of merchandise imaginable so we stopped to browse in several while on our way to Pasta Works, a small shop that features a meat counter, some fresh produce and fresh made pasta that is cut to order. They also sell imported gourmet foods and wine so there's a lot of temptations.

All that shopping worked up an appetite for dessert so we headed over to Division Street to Petite Provence, a small French bakery that sells bread and some of the most delicious and beautiful pastries we've seen. Roger will be pleased that I brought home a fresh baked baguette and two pastries for dessert tonight plus a 4 pound beef shank that I'll cook tomorrow afternoon.

SO, you're wondering about the photos? This is an advertisement board outside a hair salon on Hawthorne Ave.
