Dessert


I'm back from France. What a great time I had, not the least of which was the food. I took great pleasure in photographing some of my favorite meals, some before, some during and some after. HEre are some of the desserts I had:



A Tarte Tintin that a neighbor dropped off wrapped in this great dishtowel.


Chopped fresh peaches and mint from the local farm (seriously).


La Duree Macarons that I bought in the lobby at Printemps.


Millefeuilles that a friend made and brought over for lunch.


A bunch of pastries from the local boulangerie.


The remains of the plum cobbler that I made. I didn't have measuring cups since everything is metric so I used this recipe that relies on ratios. It was so good.



Nothing like starting and ending a day with a really good coffee and some time to sit and relax.
