Yet I simply could not believe they were as good as a Parisien patisserie <br /><br />Boy was I ever wrong.:(<br /><br />I am making up for it BIG TIME and my jeans tell the tale or rather the waisteband.<br /><br />There is a price to pay for pastry research and it's at the scale.<br />In Paris I have more resistance - there's so much pastry to choose from I just shoot and run.<br /><br />THANK YOU Jeanette for mentioning the essential 'quality control' aspect of pastry research. <br /><br />I had to visit the 48th street branch of FP today and it is the best yet. More drool worthy pictures to come.<br /><br />Opening my refrigerator door is comparable to walking among land mines = Danger ahead!Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-40065024297802052992011-05-23T18:58:51.405-04:002011-05-23T18:58:51.405-04:00Carol, pastries are among my favorite food in the...Carol, pastries are among my favorite food in the whole world, it's very tempting to see all of these goodies here!
