Le Bac ร€ Glaces ๐Ÿจ with Shannon

Original watercolor 6” x 8”

 Ice cream ๐Ÿจ is always a good ๐Ÿ‘ idea

Even though I’m not supposed to have  much sugar=hives.

I met chef Charlotte Puckette with Sardine on Pont Sully

Just as I was racing to meet Shannon, (of divine Chocolate ๐Ÿซ classes in castles).

At Le Bac ร  Glace at 109, rue du Bac, 75007

A Quick Look 

At the MENU… 

And me, I’m thinking maybe I’ll have ONE small scoop of plain Vanilla… 

While Shannon is thinking ๐Ÿค” of COUPE 

PAVLOVA
….

Or a Coupe Melba…

Named after opera singer Nellie Melba ๐ŸŽต(1861-1931)

Somehow I ate the better part of Both coups ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿจ ๐Ÿจ

They serve nice minted water ๐Ÿ’ง at Le Bac…which we both imbibed.

Awww… “the best laid plans of mice ๐Ÿญ and (wom)men”

Shannon took a picture of me hugging a girl’s best friend ❤️ 
I look Very happy ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 

I spent the weekend trying to paint ๐ŸŽจ the elusive coupes ๐Ÿจ
With NO ICE CREAM ๐Ÿฆ breaks.

And swimming ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฝ‍♀️ at piscine Pontoise.
Between all the CHEESE ๐Ÿง€ and all the ice cream ๐Ÿจ maybe I should go swimming ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฝ‍♀️ every day this week.
What do you think? ๐Ÿค”

    Oh Carol, you’re always so full of information!! Now I know where the name Peach Melba came from!! Your paintings are divine and that coupe on the Limoge plate is the stroke of brilliance! One which I will steal in the future! Shannon looks so beautiful as usual! Love from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

      Dame Nellie Melba was an Australian operatic lyric coloratura soprano. She became one of the most famous singers of the late Victorian era and the early twentieth century, and was the first Australian to achieve international recognition as a classical musician.
      *She took the pseudonym "Melba" from Melbourne, her home town.
