ABC Wednesday—A is for "abeille"

Which is French for bee, of course.  This one
is in the floor of a shop on rue Vignon,
in Paris.  It's called La Maison du Miel and is
filled with honey and also lots of wonderful
things made with honey (soap, candies,
cookies, jam, vinegar, you name it.

Weekend Reflections

There are now more of these shops around Paris,
but this is the original—in business in this
location for 254 years.  I've read that the dancers
from the Folies Bérgère, just up the street,
would come here for something sweet (and there's
plenty here to kick up your heels over).

Share the Joy

I can usually skip dessert—especially after
a meal of several courses like the one my friends and
I enjoyed at Circonstances.  However, we couldn't
resist (sharing, of course) the chef's special concoction of bits
of meringue, crème Chantilly, and salted caramel.
I'm glad I didn't say no—it was memorable
 and for sure I'll be going back for more
the next time I'm in Paris!
