French flower market
We stopped by a small little flower market. Lots of cute things like these little roses. I loved the arrangement of these pretty watering cans. Would love to have something like that in my own garden. More pictures . . .
DetailsMenu translations
There were some interesting menu translations. Sweat pan cakes? I had one actually and it was delicious. Or perhaps you would like some cock stew? (Yes, I know that is the literal translation but for silly Americans it still sounds funny since I think the dish is technically made with hens, not roosters.)
Marzipan Pig
Saw this adorable marzipan pig in the store and had to get it. He was filled with a chocolate fig mixture. And he was quite good.
Almond croissant
This was a delicious almond croissant. I was so disappointed that they were out of chocolate ones, but then I got a surprise–there was chocolate in this one! Even better than a plain chocolate croissant. Definitely one of the best croissants I’ve ever had.
Chocolate banana crepe
A chocolate banana crepe from the land of crepes.
French meringues
Loved these adorable French meringues which came in coffee, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, orange, raspberry and pistachio flavors.
Wine & Carafes
The wine was served in these cute stoneware carafes. The small one is 25 cl; the large one is 50 cl. The white wine was a delicious riesling and the red one was a bordeaux.
Root Beer Float Cupcake
Yes, I realize the picture isn’t so hot (I was using my camera phone), but the taste was amazing. The cupcake was just a plain vanilla cupcake, but the frosting was amazing. It really tasted just like root beer! Rebecca brought the cupcake came from Sweet, a new cupcake store. We also tried their red…
DetailsPumpkin Curry
Some Burmese pumpkin curry I had last week. I love that they served it in a pumpkin. It was quite good–they used dark meat!

Here’s part 2 of making the ottoman where I finish it. Sort of. You’ll see.
