Oh, no! "You ARE what you eat!"? It's five pm and I just realized I haven't eaten anything yet. Would love to eat the first tart, though. Looks like something lime. May I offer you a fresh brewed cup of "Taylors of Harrowgate" Earl Grey.
Oh my gosh! I'm salivating! LOL! You really know how to capture the essence of your subjects, Carol. That first tarte au citron looks divine! Is that lime grated over top? I LOVE freshly grated lime over citrus flavored desserts. Mmmm...
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on ÃŽle Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
I certainly hope not!
ReplyDeleteThough the first tart au citron that you posted, looks like a last place winner! I love how you tease us with those beauties at the end:
These last two photos have the makeings of wonderful paintings . . . . anxious to see.
ReplyDeleteI think you need an assistant to help with all of this tasting. :)
Torte-ture! You're getting good.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they say..?
ReplyDeleteYou ARE what you eat.
A walking, talking, painting Tarte au Citron here :)
Oh yeah... Even before I read Joy's comment I was thinking the last two pictures would make great 'Carol' paintings.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your taste bud's leaning towards next???? ;-)

ReplyDeleteHere, on a silver tray, the question mark, "?", to be added to my last sentence. ;-)
