We bet on the World Cup soccer matches at the three star restaurant I cook at in Paris. It keeps the twelve hour day exciting. Not that cooking with thirty-six hormonally challenged young men isn’t exciting on it’s own \u2013 but I am<\/em> a married woman and there are<\/em> limits.<\/p>\n

\"Arc_4\"<\/a> Champs Elys\u00e9e after the match<\/p>\n

France played Portugal on the 5th of July which was and is a very special day for me. First of all it’s my wedding anniversary, secondly my husband’s parents flew in to be with us, and thirdly I placed the winning bet. That’s right! Ha!!! I cleaned hoooooooouuuuuse!!!!<\/p>\n

The Chef de Cuisine let me go early so I could be with my husband and family \u2013 an unusual show of tenderness. I did mention to him that I haven’t seen my family in seven months. I also mentioned that I never see my husband because he’s always travelling and I’m always working and we don’t even get to faites l’amour<\/em> anymore. This he understood. No one at the restaurant has time for love \u2013 it’s a sad painful fact. Especially when you are surrounded by sensual smells and tastes all day long. Starving, really, if you know what I mean…<\/p>\n

I placed my bet 1 \u2013 0 France with the first goal by the Coq’s in 23 minutes. Everyone scoffed at my early goal estimate. But when I got home to watch the game with my husband, family, and friends I caught the first goal by Zidane at 33 minutes!<\/p>\n

It wasn’t exactly a romantic anniversary, but it was great to be with family, eat shish kabobs, and drink beer and<\/em> not be in slaving away in a hot hot hot kitchen.<\/p>\n

I felt bad receiving my lump of cash the next day. There I was the little American girl who knows nothing about soccer, or cooking for that matter, collecting wads of euros. I could tell there were some bad feelings. Oh well! You win some, You loose some!<\/p>\n

I’m betting France 2 \u2013 0 for the final Sunday game with the first goal in 17 minutes. Any takers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
