I'm happy to report that La Petite Maison was completely fabulous and totally worth the hour and a half drive. It was a super cute little restaurant, albeit in a slightly ghetto spot. The atmosphere was cozy, not stuffy, and the food was delicious. It's owned by two sisters that are from the south of France, so it's legit. I had the Demi Canard Rôti à la Parisienne, which is a half roasted duck with cointreau jus. It was soooooo good. I tried to subtly take a picture of it, but it was too dark, so you'll just have to trust that it was artfully presented. If you haven't had duck you should try it. It's a lot like chicken, but a lot greasier, so therefore, a lot better. John Price had swordfish, which was also very good, and not fishy. We had crème brûlée for dessert, and it was served with fruit and chocolate sauce, so it was obviously fantastic. All in all, an excellent meal. My only issue is the fact that the closest French restaurant is that far away. Why must Alabamians go to Georgia to eat French food? Alabama needs me, if for no other reason than to bring them French food someday.
Other than that, it's been a pretty low-key weekend. We had college lunch today at church, which is always exciting because it's free food, potluck style. I've successfully procrastinated on all homework for the weekend, so that's good. Tomorrow I for real am going job-hunting. I'm praying that I find something simply so I don't have to spend more time searching. But I guess that's it for now, ciao!
