Paris

Bonjour mes amis

Boy do I have a case of the Sundays.

So on days like this I like to look back at really great experiences or times in my life.

I give you Paris!

I went to the city of lights in the summer of 2009 for one week and well J’adore Paris! I loved everything about it. The language, the sights, and the FOOD!

Honestly, if you’re interested in pastry like me then there is no better place to see and taste the best pastries in the world. Eclairs, macarons, petit pain au chocolat, baguettes, crepes, croissant, brioche…I am officially salivating.

The Eiffel tower sparkling, Arc de Triomphe framing the Champs Elysees, Cathedral Notre Dame and Monet’s blooming garden were breath taking.

Anyway, I will let the pictures do the talking…








Okay I am a little more “recharged” for the week…a little.

I can’t wait until I can travel abroad again and learn, see, and EAT more!!

A la prochaine!

Sweet and Simple

>First get a good bar of dark or any other chocolate and dried apricots

Melt the chocolate over a double boiler on low heat

Until melted and shiny

Dip the apricots in the chocolate

I dip them half way but if you are so inclined, drop the whole gosh darn thing in

Place them on a plate…with tin foil unlike me

I sprinkled some sugar on top for shine and because the chocolate needed to be sweeter. Then refrigerate

And 15 minutes later….bliss
