Also love your paintings :) I am researching options to take a macaron class in a few weeks in Paris. I know you did the Ritz and Lenotre. Did you ever end up going to Atelier? I am considering that but just wondering if I will get as in depth an experience when it costs only 70 euros (vs 130) and its 2 hours (vs 4). I have taken a Lenotre class in millefeuille before and I did have a good experience, but if I can have just as much with the Atelier I would prefer to do that and save some cost. Would love to hear what you think.<br /> <br />Merci!<br />-JennJennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-81464817170450584262010-07-06T13:04:03.013-04:002010-07-06T13:04:03.013-04:00ZUT ALORS!!!

Most of them don't realize, however, that they are breaking the law -- something the city is now trying to address. <br /><br />Mayor Bertrand Delanoë, expressing concern about the lack of affordable housing in the city center, ordered an agency last year to warn property owners that renting out residential apartments for less than a year violates French law. Those who ignored the warning, he said, would be prosecuted. <br /><br />Only about 25 letters have been sent since enforcement began last autumn -- most of them in response to complaints made by neighbors. And only a handful of those cases have gone to court. <br /><br />But the rental industry in this most-visited city is concerned and, as more owners slowly become aware of the issue, confusion is growing. A few have pulled their properties off the market, others have deleted addresses or other identifying details from Internet listings. And dozens of rental agencies have banded together to try to save their lucrative business...Kathiehttp://www.mycalifornianfriends.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-86639244501869817022010-07-06T08:49:40.910-04:002010-07-06T08:49:40.910-04:00My favourite EVER Garden Centre.

In my opinion, an indiscriminately friendly feline is vastly preferable to a fraidy cat who runs and hides whenever anyone comes up the driveway.<br /><br />Both kinds have owned us, so I speak from experience when I say that I'd much rather have a kitty like our late beloved white-&-black Bruiser -- a gracious host who enjoyed spending an evening getting stroked and snuffle-purring (the best he could manage) on our guest's lap -- than the kind who cowers in the basement having a nervous breakdown (names withheld to protect the timid).Kathiehttp://www.mycalifornianfriends.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-62202193719659047562010-07-03T22:26:56.519-04:002010-07-03T22:26:56.519-04:00Waiters wearing Gumboots - I'd like that.
