Snow ❄️

 

We got a little snow last night around 11:00pm Little Bear 🧸 is thrilled

Me, not so much 🙄

Remembering the last time a bear 🐻 got snowed on ❄️ in 2019

Outside there was just a smattering…nothing to write ✍️ home about

Some non-Parisians get very excited dreaming about the prospect of snow in Paris 🙏

They will find it at musée Guimet. I’m in the Metro by now…

A girl was bravely carrying an unboxed chocolate cake

Onto the Metro

VICTORY 🤸‍♂️ She made it 👏 and was smiling at me a minute a go…That looks like an American or British layered cake. The French do not go in for high cakes like that.

I missed my stop & had to get off 

I stopped at marché Mutualité for a look and thought about cabbages for making that soup.

French Winter vegetables do not look appealing. I only got dill for soup-making

Then I browsed in Boulangerie Maison Isabel. The line was short because of the weather

And got a bruschetta with lardons heated/chauffée

They have something new - roulé cannelle! Cinnamon has really hit it big here. You could never find cinnamon when I first moved here. I ❤️ cinnamon. I grew up eating cinnamon toast on wintry days when we were small. A mix of sugar + cinnamon, a smear of butter on bread. Then toasted in oven. Yum Yum

My old favorite, la Pavé was calling…but I quickly looked away & moved on 💪 🏆 FYI they don’t have it everyday.

I came home, turned on the electric blanket & got back into bed. I don’t miss New York blizzards one bit. Bonnie says she’s got 14” in MA. And Canadian Monique is in the midst of a Winter storm

I’m listening to some Orwell stories for soothing background noise. Then I will get up & make my onion, mushroom, lentil, tomato soup concoction.

Keep warm everyone 🙏
