Ice cream 🍨 is always a good 👍 idea
I met chef Charlotte Puckette with Sardine on Pont Sully
Just as I was racing to meet Shannon, (of divine Chocolate 🍫 classes in castles).
At Le Bac à Glace at 109, rue du Bac, 75007
And me, I’m thinking maybe I’ll have ONE small scoop of plain Vanilla…
Named after opera singer Nellie Melba 🎵(1861-1931)
I look Very happy 😃
With NO 🛑 ICE CREAM 🍦 breaks.
Do you have a favorite?
Between all the CHEESE 🧀 and all the ice cream 🍨 maybe I should go swimming 🏊🏽♀️ every day this week…
What do you think? 🤔

























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 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteDame 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.
Delete*She took the pseudonym "Melba" from Melbourne, her home town.
