July 20, 2010 Dinner at the Cohen's

We met Josiane Cohen while walking in the park. She asked if we were Americans and a friendship started there. We were invited to a lovely dinner at their home on Tuesday evening. Meryl, their 19-year old daughter returned that evening from a holiday in Cannes with her friends. She speaks excellent English. Jean Cohen owns a large shipping company with offices in Lyon and Algeria. Their fabulous apartment overlooks Parc de la TĂȘte D'Or.

We had a delightful time discussing different religions since Jean is Jewish and Josiane is Catholic. Meryl has not decided what she is yet. Josiane fixed a French dinner that started at 8:30 and ended at 10:45. She is a fabulous cook so we were able to try cucumber gazpacho and caramelized zucchini. She had a beautiful fruit plate for each of us that had a large fig in the center. We hope they will come to Utah some time to ski and will stop in to see us.
