On my flight to Paris, while taking a nap I woke to the smell of butter. My nose said… croissants! I immediately scanned the plane for a coming flight attendant. Sadly, this is what landed in front of me. Never have I seen such a sad, limp piece of pastry. I ate it anyway because [...] October 31, 2012
It was nice to experience Paris in the fall. On previous trips I’ve always had the luxury of the summer warmth and while this time it was an unfriendly 40 degrees, it didn’t stop me from taking in the city by foot. Most of Paris continues to be green but I was happy to find [...] October 30, 2012
I’m having major Paris withdrawal since returning less than 24 hours ago. So here we go, a Paris-inspired ORANGE post to celebrate the Giants World Series win #2 since I missed the entire thing as I was busily stuffing my face with pastries. “Napolean Noir,” Laduree’s gorgeous black box with an intricate gold trim. According to [...] July 8, 2012
Another Saturday at the Ferry Building and I stopped inside Boulette’s Larder, a restaurant/shop on the water side facing the farmer’s market. I have never eaten there but I like to stop inside and see the glass case of prepared food and desserts. This art piece on the wall made me smile as we are [...] September 29, 2010
Update: In the Season 8 season premiere, Blair’s “Paris” is really Oheka Castle in Long Island, NY. In last season’s finale of Gossip Girl we found out Blair & Serena would take on Paris for the summer. Already incredibly stylish in Manhattan, imagine them with their Chanel and Louis strolling along the Champs [...] September 21, 2010
Indulging in Macarons: Part 1 I was floating on a sugar cloud as I continued to taste as many macarons as I possibly could. But I have to say the ultimate macaron experience and highlight of my time in Paris was a visit inside the kitchen of chocolatier and patissier, Gerard Mulot. I thought this behind-the-scenes [...] September 9, 2010
While the craze is still all about cupcakes in the US, the spotlight belongs to macarons in Paris. And long lines didn’t deter me from my search for the city’s best. Ladurée, Pierre Hermé,

“Deux croissants au beurre s’il vous plait.“ Oh how I miss saying that every morning. Here in the states a morning typically includes a trip to Starbucks for a latte, mocha.. or whatever it is people need to wake up. Not being a coffee drinker myself I wouldn’t know. But it was nice [...] September 2, 2010
One week wandering the streets of Paris… no museums or long lines, no Eiffel Tower, just food. I returned home mid-August but was in denial that I had really left a city that I fell in love with. The idea of blogging and writing in past tense would only emphasize the fact that the trip [...] |
