The Kasbah Chronicles: An Alsatian tea, an Alsatian dinner, and tales from the passion fruit vine
Reserve your spot at the goûter today!
November 5, 2024
Dear Kasbah Chronicle followers:
This is a repeat message, but I want to be sure you have a chance to make a reservation for this Alsatian goûter by the November 15th deadline. (I once read that it takes seven reminders--according to the publicity industry!) Do consider coming! Please tell your friends in North San Diego County. Note that I am also planning an Alsatian dinner at Bistrot du Marché in La Jolla (CA) on November 29th (see below).
PS: My other occupation these days is chasing the rats out of my fruit trees and my passion fruit vine. If you have a foolproof way to do that please share the process! They just ate the peanut butter off a rat trap and fled. How do you keep pesky rodents at bay (more or less nicely?!)
Hope to see you at my goûter. Thank you for reading these Kasbah Chronicles. I LOVE FEEDBACK!
RESERVE YOUR SEAT TODAY!!
BRING A FRIEND!!
