Trop de Choix

When in Paris, have them all! 

The kitchen in our Paris flat, June 2009

L-R:  Baguette, Eva and Davis' favorite escargot au chocolat, pain au chocolat and brie of course.

Sweet Treat

I have a very good reason for sharing this not so great photograph of this patisserie window with you today. Last week I received a lovely email from Susan Hochbaum, a new follower of this blog. Susan is not only a lover of Paris, and Paris pastries, she is also a talented photographer and one creative lady! She was kind enough to send along the link to a little movie she's made. You will thank me for this one! She will return to Paris in April for more photographs as she has signed a book deal. Susan, let us all know when your book comes out. I think we will ALL want one!

Bon Appetit!

Petit déjeuner ( L-R, a DELICIOUS baguette, brie, pain au chocolat, escargot (snail shaped pastry) with chocolat)

Many of you have asked about what we've been eating. Today we visited the patisserie on the corner for the first time. We've seen patrons lined up outside waiting so we decided it must be worth checking into. Oh my.... see for yourself.

Déjeuner
( Jambon avec fromage on sesame bread, jambon avec fromage on baguette, poulet on poppy seed bread)

This is a fennel, tomato, and shallot salad Chef Melissa made to go with our spaghetti tonight. We ate the rest too fast to photograph.
( Yes, we know that spaghetti isn't French, but we have two kiddos to feed you know.)
