1st thing in New York, just for old times sake, Bear wolfed down all the madeleines he'd brought back from Paris as a gift for someone else.
Madeleines from Boissier in the 16th.
Bear was hoping to get tea at elegant Boissier.
But comme d'habitude he was too late.
But that didn't stop him buying up the store
As much as possible
c'est la vie
Meanwhile back on the homefront, Bear got the bright idea to make cornbread madeleines with a few tiny changes naturalement like using orange juice and zest instead of milk with a dash of ginger etc.
Malheureusement the first batch were too big
And left in the oven too, too long!
The second batch came out parfait! Baked in just 10 minutes no longer.
Bear is going out for Thanksgiving
And since Bear doesn't much care for jalepenos in his cornbread, he's bringing his own wrapped in the empty Boissier package. What do you think? Should Bear try to fool Viv and her 9 cats?
Boissier does have one of the prettiest shopping bags in town so it's worth a try non?
Next trip Bear won't be late for tea at Maison Boissier.

I can just see you popping the champagne-o-meter with those divine cornbread madeleines! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy the cornbread madeleines too.
ReplyDeleteSame to y'all!
DeleteBear definitely has GREAT CHEF potential!
ReplyDeleteCornbread madeleines?
Is that a first?!
Luscious! I'm lecher-ing the computer screen, both for the cornbread madeleines and the cobalt blues of that Boissier vitrine.
ReplyDeleteThe cats are much more interested in eating the floral centerpiece that arrived today than in any people food, so have no fear: it's strictly paws-off the cornbread.
See you soon!
Those darn cats of yours!
DeleteI'm bringing a cat/people counter!!
Cornbread madeleines? Oui, s'il vous plait!

Your Madeleine. Look good:-)
Madeleines are something I don't get excited about, but bears recipe sounds great. I hope he left enough for you to take when visiting your friend Vivian.I'm sure you'll enjoy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for your comment, I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough to go purple, maybe just one item ;-)
You are one naughty duo, you and Bear! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your hostess,
may it all end well,
Merisi
Quelle bonne idée!! This would be a great use for my virgin madeleine pan! Merci! Who cares if she is fooled or not. What a pretty package!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, mon amie!
Easy peasy Chef
DeleteBe sure and let the batter rest 30 mins+ not that you need me to tell you that!
Another trip - I heat the madeleine tin in the oven before adding the batter.
Then thye pop rt out but I bet you know that.
OH yummm for the Madeleine's and all the hints we thank you for. Lucky you to go to Vivian's. Enjoy the food and company and we look forward to some pictures soon. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that Bear! Has he heard that Truth is Beauty. Does he really care?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, best wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving. This post has caused my eyes to drift to my vintage madeleine pan up on a very high shelf. Think it might be time to give it a good wash and another excursion in the oven.

Better late for tea than late for dinner I always say!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, I hope I am not too late for you and Vivian to have this article to enjoy tomorrow. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11965-2004Nov25.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a gourmet guy, this bear
ReplyDeleteGrand Merci!
DeleteBEAR
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bear, Carol! I made Bailey's cheesecake, not cornbread madeleines. Those sound good--I like the notion of the OJ in lieu of milk. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteTo Carol and Bear....thank you!! For delighting us...happy thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOxxo. Patricia and Eric Nauman, Minneapolis
We love to make madeleines but the addition of orange juice and ginger sounds delicious.

You could sell your cornbread madeliene idea to Jiffy! I guess Bear redeemed himself!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Sketchbook Wandering, you can build a small business for combread madeliene. Happy thanks giving day!
ReplyDeleteWhile planning out next assault on Paris (next year) we were talking about madeleines, and thinking that we hadn't really seen them about. Who has your favourite madeleines?
ReplyDeleteI would have to do a 'flight' of madeleines as you do on your 'raids'.
DeleteThough I am sure the BEST madeleine I ever tasted was Chef Marthe's right out of the oven.
Home made is ALWAYS the best!
