6 janvier, Epiphany, is celebrated in France with these lovely galettes made of the lightest and most buttery crust filled with a delicious frangipane (almond cream). Epiphany is the celebration of the arrival of the three kings to visit the baby Jesus. Someone will get the tiny baby figurine in their piece and be crowned with the gold paper crowns that accompany every cake. Of course as Peter Olson would point out, it must include a nice glass of champagne!

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

We celebrated with the neighbors on Sunday. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't get to be crowned. Wait'til next year as they say.
I don't recall ever hearing of these treats before.
My mouth is watering.
Peter is right—and I hope you have galettes (and get the bébé in yours) AND Champagne!
Ooohh--Yummy!!
Happy New Year!!
Bring on the epiphany V. That buttery crust looks scrumptious.
