I have such itchy feet, but doubt I can afford a long trip this year. I keep adding things I see on other people's Paris posts to my list (as well as every pastry shop mentioned by David L!), which is now going to take lifetime residency in Paris to clear, I suspect. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488371842288429064.post-5569036708995666942013-07-29T16:46:06.184+09:302013-07-29T16:46:06.184+09:30Such a delightful post Vicki, I do love how you ma...Such a delightful post Vicki, I do love how you managed to combine cheese and dead cats as favourite things. Having just returned from Paris yesterday, the deliciousness of the cheeses is still a tantalisingly fresh memory. We had two amazing cheese shops a few hundred metres from the flat- we ate a lot of cheese- and everything else as it turns out. At some stage soonish I will blog about some of the food and drink. Sad to say though that in my three visits to Paris I haven't managed to visit any cemeteries- people or animals- I was tempted this time but just didn't make it. And I haven't read David Lebovitz's book. I tried to get to it before this trip but didn't get to it, will have to do it before next time. I love his blog too. Your description of it sounds lovely, right up my alley, and the recipes sound great too. Dulce de leche brownies! Wow. Although I'm sure not part of post-Paris leaves and dust regimens.

I like to stick a camembert in the oven in this silly ceramic camembert baker (talk about single purpose! But we don't seem that many camemberts in boxes in Oz) that my mother bought me one year - stud the camembert with slivers of garlic, tuck in a bit of thyme or anything, slosh on a little olive oil (just to make it really bad!), and bake. It's divinely wicked.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488371842288429064.post-6448238832471614672013-07-16T17:46:32.785+09:302013-07-16T17:46:32.785+09:30He has a lovely style of writing - his blog is gre...He has a lovely style of writing - his blog is great fun, esp. as he often writes about things that are good for tourists to check out re food - restaurants, shops, etc. I have 'discovered' some great new places thanks to his blog.
