I've never been to La Provence, Jillie, but I think I'll have to take
a meander over there just for these gems. I have a Meyer lemon tree
just bursting at the seams with lemons right now -- in fact, I had my
first Delilah last night (2 parts Meyer lemon juice, 1 part Bombay
Sapphire Gin, 1 part Cointrea, shaken lustily over ice and served in a
martini cocktail glass). Is La Provence a lunch place only or do they
serve dinner?
