Justin bought me these flowers from a man peddling them at dinner the night we stayed in Brussels. The buds were still closed that night, but they blooms were so lovely and huge once they'd opened. And the dinner that night was perhaps one of the best I've ever had in my life. Lapin moutarde--rabbit with a mustard sauce. Abso-frickin'-delicious. I'm contemplating going back just to eat it one more time before crossing the Atlantic. If only I could remember the name of the restaurant...
