Paris Loves Pistachios

 

Do you love pistachios? I’m nuts 🌰 about anything pistachio-flavored.

After my encounter with Princesse Pistache last week, I went looking for more pistachio desserts. Anything in this flavor 🙏 Luckily Paris loves 💚 Pistache too.

Paris Goes Green

Paris IS very into the whole green trend...
Today's post was really going to be about how hairy Paris men are...
OK this is a grassy guy...
Gateaux vertes - only Pierre Herme can get away with this!

I was thinking of doing a post on all the 'Bio' stuff I saw in Paris...

No, it was NOT going to be another post on macarons!

It does seem improbable that quite formal Mariage Freres would have Kelly green tea tins non?

Somehow I don't think my air hostess on AirFrance will look like this today...

Somehow I don't think London will look so GREEN this visit...

It is true BEAR prefers to sit at green tables...

And I'll be sitting at tables eating my GREENS as often as possible. Sometimes I think I eat more 'greens' in Paris than I do at home :(
I know. I should be packing instead of posting, but I'll do it LATER just before I leave the house like you suggested :)

See you in a bit...

BONJOUR PBers!!

Paris Green again

Dalloyau has always loved Poisonous Paris green,
It makes their boxes look so clean,
Even if, a bit like a pea green string bean.

Dalloyau is pronounced doll-why-oh.
This green landing pad is their gateau,
One wonders when it will glow?

Cacao et Chocolat
Is not afraid to stray
Into poisonous Paris green territory.
Their Aztec chocolates tell the story.

It could well be
This Matcha tea
Is responsible for this green obsession.

Certainly Japanese
Don't think twice
Making Matcha green tea into confection.

Though it is unstable.
They simply insist upon
Putting it on their table.

Merci, Anonymouse...

FYI, None of the above foods or objects contains poisonous Paris Green. On Paris Green: was Cezanne's favorite. The pigment was used heavily by other artists, Van Gogh and Monet. Cezanne developed severe diabetes, a symptom of chronic arsenic poisoning. Monet's blindness and Van Gogh's neurological disorders could be related to their use of Emerald Green + lead pigments, mercury-based Vermilion, and solvents such as turpentine.

Paris can't resist poisonous green.
