It's just over a week until my Mum comes to see me - and I've been busy dreaming up some fun things for us to do. I had a lovely time with my Dad experiencing round two of Hugo's duck salad with grilled goat's cheese toast (round one here)- but it might be time to move on and enjoy some different culinary delights.
In the meantime, here are some photos that escaped being posted:
Salad starter 'Mesclum de salade et de fruits saison au basilic' with amazing poppy seed bread and pesto starter, on the house :)
No pictures of the duck salad, but here is the tarte au citron dessert with some kind of raspberry sorbet. Miam miam ! (yum!)
Paris by night on the way there / way home. Les Invalides dome is beautiful!
True to her word, my amazing sister delivered freshly baked 'Hummingbird Bakery' brownies via my Dad - with her own secret twist. These are an incredible, with a shiny chocolately tempered surface which cracks to reveal gooey, almondy, white chocolate chip spangled goodness underneath. They didn't last long!
These food goodies might look amazing - but sadly I don't always eat like a king. My weekend wasn't so fun after I flippantly let my stockpile in the fridge run out. Shops and supermarkets alike are closed on a Sunday - so beware the trap I fell into if you want to pick up some groceries in Paris. Mugs of black tea, a red pepper and marmalade toast for Sunday dinner had to see me through to Monday morning - cereal with milk has never tasted so good!
À Bientôt !
