M I Dotty?

 M I dotty? Dotty tarte au citron from Cyril Lignac's La Patisserie.

 Where is my blog FOOTER? THANK YOU for your sound advice yesterday PBers. I'm getting a Pinterest kindle book to figure out how to find my feet a toute a suite :)

 A stolen foot shot on the No.96 Paris bus. She was eating an ice cream cone too. On the BUS!

 I'm a big fan of kids bookstore, La Sardine a Lire. When she asked would I like my books wrapped as a 'cadeau'/gift I said, 'no'. When I saw a sample package on the shelf I said,'YES!'

 La Vaissellerie never disappoints if you want dotty dishes in Paris.

 A tres quelle ordinaire papeterie near Metro Ecole Militaire has adorable fraise/strawberry backpacks in the window. What's not to love?

 Cerise/cherries are dots/pois oui?

 A very important DOT, if you're glad you were born. Like who isn't?

 Has top chef Cyril Lignac gone dotty? Grey/gris gateaux with red dots.

 Designer Christian Lacroix Sweetie-Darling tosses dots around. If you pop by Cyril Lignac's La Patisserie this weekend, bring your running shoes. You'll need them.

Speak French Effortlessly!

 There are many simple-minded ways to bone up on your French without private tutoring or fancy classes before you travel.
1.Rent/borrow French films.
Play them over & over so you can practically act out the dialogue. You'll absorb a lot.
2.Set your rented English-speaking films to dubbed-in-French with Eng subtitles. Or as Jill of Mad About Macarons says set the titles to French, the better to hear/see the expressions. Jill’s way to to soak up French effortlessly.

 3.There are loads of online French radio stations you can listen to. I like On Va Deguster/France Inter, because they talk about food (what else is worth talking about?). Very casual & conversational - experience the way real people speak. A once-a-week podcast you can listen to on your iPod - I'm listening now.
