inSPIREd Sunday

Looking down rue Monge from the heart of the
 5th arrondissement, you can see the graceful
spires of Saint-Chapelle.   The distance 
from here to there is actually about 2/3 mile
(but I have a pretty good zoom lens!).

ABC Wednesday—M is for "macarons"

A lot of people claim that the ones from
Pierre Hermé are the best and some (like me)
head to Ladurée for their macaron fix.
These were for sale at Eric Kayser, but I wasn't
tempted (we were there strictly for 
their yummy baguettes).

Miam! = Yum!

It all starts when the big yellow truck arrives and these
two strong guys deliver the organic flour.
When I was in Paris recently, those gorgeous cakes
were strictly a "visual" feast, but we went out
of our way almost every day to come here to 
Eric Kayser and treat ourselves to one (or two)
of those baguettes—often still warm from the oven.
