La naissance d'un Paris-Brest

These buggers come straight from the oven and are awaiting their pralin filling... It's rough having a French chef in the house. Oh, and yes, they are just as good as they look.

Yves back from the market

The nicest, friendliest chef around (after YMC, of course!). Yves Camdeborde has "Le Comptoir" and at the time of this photograph, was opening "Le Petit Comptoir", right beside it. A memorable evening of champagne and conversation with him and a horde of writers (including Christian Authier and Jean-Marc Parisis) topped off a fantastic stay in Paris (at the Relais St-Germain, of course!)

Yummm...

What can I say...when in Paris, go to the Atelier de Joël Robuchon. I do. But you know that if you've been following me: l'Atelier and Axel chez Alexandre

Le Germain, rue de Buci

What a great way to create a little terrace. Add a touch of class with the cloth napkins and the wine glass. Vraiment réussi, in my opinion.

Awaiting supper

There's this light right before supper...right on the knife rack and nowhere else. Something about the sun setting in the right spot.

The day after..

So an army of empty bottles were a direct result of the great party last night. Create a postcard

Back to the beer taps..

View from right between Unibroue's "U blonde" and "Maudite". Create a postcard

Can you guess the wine?

Typical bistro/brasserie shot...while having lunch yesterday.  Looked for e stereotypical cliches.  Oh, and the wine was amazing!  Create a postcard

"Chanson d'automne"

No, not nostalgia...

Curly lettuce

In a time of such drabness, I came across this lettuce soaking in the kitchen and felt sunshine upon my day!
