The Assignment today: paint this framboise pastry. J. showed up for a lesson.
She brought along a pastry from Boulangerie Morange 123, rue Mouffetard.
Our assignment: eat this baby. Not hard work.
She's not fond of pistache but you'd never know it. The cake was gone in a flash. Not too sugary but very raspberry.
The lesson assignment: paint watercolor blobs
Using Canson paper
watercolor doodling
Next assignment: Go take my post-cast boot prescription to the pharmacie. Obviously I can't turn up at the Doctor’s next week with no boot, but after Susan A. said her boot cost $700 (in the US) I was hesitating. A lot.
Turns out my French boot from Chaussure Sober will cost a mere 33.20€ Yay.
No Louboutin but c'est la vie. Way better than the cast right?
Did you read the terrific story in the NYTimes in May on Solo in Paris by Travel Section writer, Stephanie Rosenbloom. It's a must-read whether you're headed for Paris or an armchair traveler.

Et voila! PBer Joyce let me know the story,
Browsing Boutiques Without Taking the Trip
