Yesterday I got the call 📞
Naturally I went running over. Fortunately her cheesecake did not cause another big storm in Paris like last week.
This is Solli’s tiny slice 😦 Practically transparent! Not fair.
On Wednesday I went to buy stamps for your letters 💌 Houdini. No Eiffel Towers stamps left.
Naturally I went into Galleries Lafayette Gourmet for the weekly browse.
Pierre Hermé’s Mosaïc Cheesecake called out to me.
And his cherry 🍒 crumble mini tarte..
Looking at the pictures…I got such a yen I had to run to Picard’s for their slice of lemon cheesecake 🙄 Pas mal in a pinch 🤏🏻
There was ice cream 🍦 Everywhere in GLG.
I fell victim to Pistachio😀

Which was mailed out yesterday📮 No fork included but the napkin is.
I see it is OK for men to wear shorts en Paris, now. Trendy friends were there in shorts last week, too, with Maman in dresses. Thirty plus years ago, I packed knee-length shorts for my sons and husband (LaCoste knit shirts on top, and top-sider shoes were OK) and was embarrassed at my faux pas.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is wearing shorts 🩳 this summer. Much more than in the past.
DeleteHope you get to swim tomorrow in the Seine…that would be pretty historic! The pistachio ice cream covered in pistachios looks delicious. Love your Paris picnic letter. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie 🧺 ❤️
DeleteSollis choc cheesecake was as beautiful as anything in the shop vitrines. Could we have her recipe? DONT go swimming in the Seine!
ReplyDeleteThere is a link at the top paragraph to A recipe. It’s cheesecake with Mascarpone, so much lighter than Philly Cheese cake. She used plain Italian chocolate cookies instead of Oreos, which have Palm Oil.
DeletePistachio ice cream and the blackberry mousse( not sure what it is) would be my choices, along with anything lemon (except cheesecake, as I’m one of those rare people that don’t like cheesecake.)
ReplyDeleteBe glad of it. Cheesecake is not skinny food for sure
DeleteLet us know how the swim was! I can’t imagine w:o a tetanus booster!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should wade…no dunking your head under and no swallowing water! 🏊 🏊♀️ 🦢
ReplyDeleteIt’s not like at the beach. No wading area. I arrived After the swimming was over. I’m thinking about it….

ReplyDeleteHow was it? Last night a pastry chef brought a Basque Cheesecake to a JULY 4th BBQ. Not my favorite.

What an honour to have my chocolate cheesecake painted by you darling <3 Love it! Very beautiful and elegant! Thanks for coming over, always a pleasure and fun to chat with you :-) And to my defense I must say I had many slices of the cake before you came, half of it was already gone!! I saw some clips on IG on people who went and had a swim in the Seine yesterday, looked nice and refreshing! And they said the water was quite warm, 27 degrees!
ReplyDeleteAnd It is an honor for me to document your beautiful creations SOLLI ❤️
DeleteI would love a bite of this masterpiece. ANABEL
ReplyDeleteOne bite woukd never be enough! Yum
DeleteYour paintings are rich and luscious.. And the photos of the pastries are so nice. I'm happy to see them even though I can't eat them....Visual impressions last longer for me than eating..
ReplyDeleteOh to be a fly on the wall when you two ladies get together. I bet you have so much fun! The desserts are a delicious bonus!!! So neat to see my dear friend Dee Ann’s name mentioned too!! ❤️from 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteLoved the art work. I love the three slices. Lynne
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have joined you and Solli for a slice of that cheesecake. Your watercolor is beautiful and I can hardly wait to see Solli’s photograph of it! Carolyn
