Tea and coffee breaks!

Drinking Moroccan mint tea in Toulouse-Lautrec's hometown, Albi.

Breakfast at Le Coquelicot with its usual huge bowl of coffee.

Coffee/creme-brulee break in Giverny!

Homemade confiture.


Can't say that it actually tasted like the strawberry jam it was supposed to be, but hey, got start somewhere!

Léon de Bruxelles in the St. Germain-des-Prés area!

Really good mussels, Belgian-style (despite the attempt at the mediterranean-deal).

My British house-mate from last year!

Quite pleased!

Café des Musées, le Marais.

A saumon appetizer

Fricassé of lamb rice...whatever that means...


Entrecote! aka, steak.
A rasberry tirimisiu

And good friends!

Breizh Cafe Gallettes!

Bit of Le Bretagne for you!

Coq-au-Vin, five course meal!

Alex is super excited to cook.

So excited he's playing with the chicken.

And the cooking begins!

We've added the wine...

The Michigan-styled Greek salad is ready...

Et voila! Well, without the actual chicken in the photo, but nonetheless...
Crepes for dessert! And the we'll just pretend I took a picture of the cheese platter...
And, maybe an after-dessert, dessert? Biscuits from the boulangeries of the Rue des Rosiers in the fourth.

Les Cafes!

Cafe called "le pas sage" in the Passage des Grands-Cerfs, 2nd Arrondissement, Paris. Nice word-play, eh?

Amazing bowl-cappucino from le Coquelicot in Montmartre, on the Rue des Abbesses.
