Hey Jupiter! What are you doing out there in between Mars and Saturn? Eating some French food, perhaps – maybe a classic soupe a l'oignon (French onion soup) or a tub of moules au saffran (mussels steamed in white wine with cream, saffron and mustard). French beers, aperetifs, digestifs and a devastatingly good list of French wines, too. Stay the whole day?
