I opened a Pandora's box yesterday, in fact 2 of them... I went to a preview tasting at La Maison du Chocolatfor their Nov 3La Nuit du Gateau event and you are ALL invited. So PLEASE mark your calendars !They are celebrating their 20th anniversary by inviting you for a free tasting of their cakes including the New York launch of their divine eclairs You will get to taste their exquisite 'Salvador' cake of chocolate + framboise. This is every bit as good as it looks and simply melts in your mouth... miam-miam And the chocolate ganache tarte...
You know how to top yourself, showing us all those tempting chocolates, fabulous clothes and boots, celebrities and then, the highlight of it all, your painting! Wow, I am smitten, love it, so unique! Now, why don't a have any chocolate around here? ;-)

Hi Carol- My husband and I are heading to Paris for a week long visit on Thursday and during my online research I found your blog. I absolutely adore it!! Your photos, water colors, etc. are beautiful and inspiring. You really capture what I love best about Paris.
I will wear a restrictive belt when I go so I don't 'accidentally' load my plate up with so many divine goodies. Or maybe the belt will stay at home...
I am a long-time lurker. never post to anything...But without your wonderfulness I would not have known about or attended this event! Just returned and am cramming my bouche with all manner of french chocolate!!
Thank you and I think your blog is wonderful! No, it's not just the chocolate talking...

Great post! I would love to try all the cakes but I am not sure if I could wear then the brown belt:)
Fall, October in particular, always has a special was of reminding me how much I love chocolate.
It all looks so alluring, I might just have to find a Seattle fix!

God, that looks so delicious!
I love chocolate and that is very good looking chocolate :)
It all looks SO delicious! I'd have no self control.
Is it my imagination or do those eclairs look like les ballerines?
Aren't you the Lucky Duck!
Elizabeth--excellent ballerine-spotting!
So rich! They look good, don't they, but for someone with no willpower, I don't know...eat some for me, Carol!!! Fun...
Oh wow.. I was just there on Wednesday buying some delicious raspberry and chocolate macarons. Must write 3 November into my planner!! Merci, Carol!
Hello Pastry chefs out there!!

Called having your cake and eating it too.
