Yesterday's record of what I ate.
First stop - marche President Wilson near Metro Ilena.
Why can't I leave the house before 11:30? Lunch time.
I've had this before. A kind of pita with thyme + sesame seeds. On top brochette of poulet + taboule + hummos = Miam
Then heated and rolled up like a buche de noel or jelly roll.
The dog of the day.
Nearby a stop into the Palais de Tokyo
The observers look like sculptures.
Further on a bit - musee Guimet with a special exhibit on tea.
At the end a sniffing display somewhat like The Art of Scent.
On Champs-Elysees a Christmas marche is still going on.
Time for a warming cup of chocolat chaud. Not Le Meurice but still good.
Bus 42 to rue de Rivoli for a fast stop into the Apple store - this has become a daily habit.
Browsing on Rivoli a look through the window at Angelina - just a look. Too crowded to go in.
But not to crowded to stop inside Fromagerie Laurent Dubois.
A petite piece de Roquefort - bleu de Laqueville for dinner.
Bleu + apple cider + grainy bread = heaven.
That was my day yesterday.Let me know if you want more daily reports?
Bonne Journee!
Bon jour, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI hope the sun rose in suchbeautiful pinks over your fair Paris as it did here in Vienna!

ReplyDeleteNo doubt 2013 will be a fun and 'yummy' year for you and bear!
Happy New Year Carol, I'm very happy for you xx
Chere Carol, I really enjoy PB each day if you have the stamina for it. I am reading La Seduction and getting such a kick out of it, especially after one visit only to Paris one year ago. What the book is describing matches with my experience in such an entertaining way. I really enjoy the art you share and book recommendations and travelogues. Delightful! Thank you for all the effort you put into this blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Sandra
PS How do you say happy new year in French?
Yes, Please keep sending the daily reports!!!! I love, love, love them! This one, with the photo of your sketchbook and the coordinating photos of the actual places/objects was one of my favorites. Your blog in my e-mailbox makes my day! :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Carol,
ReplyDeleteLove the daily reports! Love your blog so much! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for bringing Paris to us. We were in Paris and November and saw the Printemps Christmas tree with its pink roses. Now to see it here is magical and keeps Paris close. Greetings to dearest Bear, and a wonderful new year to you both!
Merci merci merci!
oxoxo,
Patricia and Eric in Minneapolis
Love your daily reports -- they give us the old You Are There experience. But I also love the processing reports, when you convert your sensory intake to art -- art is long, they say, takes time...so I like both the fast and the slow information you give.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Eve -- to you and Bear, many adventures and mucho art!
So funny..they were showing pre-NYE reports on the news re Paris..and I thought:"My friend is there"~Ahh..blogging..:)
ReplyDeleteOui! I want more daily reports please. I am living vicariously through you especially with a knee injury which is keeping me house bound. Thanks for all your time on your wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup!
Margo H
Absolutely we want more.
ReplyDeleteElaine
Every morning I check your blog. I enjoy it so much your photos, sense of humor and your wonderful way of bringing Paris into my home. I hope to be in Paris this fall. It will be my third time. As I am an avid knitter, I like to stop at a place called la droguerie across from St. Eustache on rue du Jour and behind Les Halles. Very nice people own the place and dye their own yarns. I also stop at Bon Marche as they have a huge selection too. Last time I went I took the book, True Pleasures: a memoir of Women in Paris by Lucinda Holdforth.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar ?
Thank you so much for keeping Paris alive for me until my next trip.
Happy Holidays,
Elissa
Yes, love your daily blog posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd your paintings.
Thank you for bringing a bit of Paris to us all.
Your daily reports are fabulous- keep them coming- we have to live vicariously you know! Your mezze sandwich looks fabulous. And that blue! Fromagerie Laurent Dubois now in the plan too.
ReplyDeleteOh! I spied a Westie in one of your photos, the dog of the day. Have you ever done a watercolor of a Westie? I have one and love him so much. Almost every day I ask him, "Tito, do you want to go to
ReplyDeleteParis." He always says "oui!"
