Paris Chocolate Tour
We’re mid-week into our Paris Chocolate Tour here and we’re having a great time. Everyone’s enjoying the unusually fine weather, and of course, the chocolate. I wanted to post a few shots and notes in my spare seven minutes—it’s 5:34am so forgive any typos or missed links. I’ll catch ’em later…in my free time ; ) Cheerful, and the amazingly-talented, Jean-Charles Rochoux shows us a…
WTF x 3 (or 2+1)
1. A few weeks ago I went back to Exceptions Gourmands with a friend from New York. The two women working there were quite nice and helpful, and my friend ended up picking out a few things to buy. The amount was something like 7.53€. So my friend opened her wallet and handed over a 10€ bill. “Oooohhh,” the saleswoman said, eyeing the lone bill…
Crazy Americans
When you fly in to Charles de Gaulle airport, there’s a mad rush to get off the plane. Then you’re herded to a holding pen-like area, where you wait to go through passport control.

Being A Tourist In My Hometown
Last night I rounded a corner, and looked up. It made me realize that sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in too many things. And what’s really important is to give myself a moment to stop everything—take a look (and a photo)—and remind myself what a beautiful city I get to live in. Although I don’t think happiness necessarily depends on where you live,…
apricot Kernel Ice Cream Recipe
[UPDATE: I’ve revised this post since I first published it since you may not be able to find plum kernel oil. Apricot kernel oil is sometimes available, and can be used instead. When searching for the oil, make sure the one you find is suitable for consumption. Some are for cosmetic purposes only. If you are looking for a recipe that uses fresh apricot kernels,…
