Coq au Vin

Earlier in the week, we had what is becoming a traditional annual outing in the city with Alik, Andrey, Oleg and spouses. This time, we went to a French restaurant. The chef's special that day was Coq au Vin, which brought lots of juvenile joy to the male members of our party (as in, "who wants some of my cock", get it?). The waiter assured us that Coq is, indeed, a rooster, though those who ordered a more pedestrian Chicken Under Brick couldn't really tell the difference.

Speaking of Coq. Next day, Alik, Andra and us went to see a revival of Noel Coward's "Private Lives" with Kim Catrall (yes, who played Samantha on "Sex and the City"). The set design (a modern style Paris apartment) was spectacular and so was the male lead, but 50++ Catrall trying to pass for a 30 year old was a stretch.
