I don’t write much about cooking even though it is one of my most favorite things in the world to do. It isn’t every-one’s passion so I stay away. The last time I did write a post about cooking was to give a recipe for the perfect French vinegrette. I guarantee that if you add […]
Today we are off to share a yummy goodie and cup of tea at this super adorable venue, Thé Cool. What is not to love about how fabulous the interior of this tea salon is? You can spend a delightful afternoon sitting with a good book, a wonderful cup of tea and just be […]
“I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.”
Oscar Wilde
I am a bigger fan of Oscar Wilde than I thought. Doing some research into his literary career, I discovered that I have read half of his works without even putting any effort into it. When I am in the library or at the […]
We’re not in Paris today and that is probably a good thing since the weather is not cooperating and being its crappy Parisian self. Beautiful things sometimes think they can get away with that….being crappy and still be loved. Not with me they can’t. So, I decided we need to get out of town and […]

A few steps from Métro Odeon, where you find yourself near a Starbucks, numerous movie theatres and crazy activity involving students from the Sorbonne, is a restaurant that is one of those where no matter what time of day it is, you can stop in and get a meal that is going to make everyone […]
Champagne: love it as much as I love wine. Pink or white, I am a fan of both as long as it’s chilled and bubbly! It is the quintessential definition of celebration. Over the next few weeks, there are many happy reasons for my family to be popping the corks on bottles as we toast […]
This is Rue des Barres, a cobble stoned pedestrian street in the 4th arrondisement that backs up to Eglise Saint Gervais, one of the oldest churches in Paris, being mentioned as far back as the 4th century. It was formerly seat to the powerful brotherhood of wine merchants–yeah for those wine merchants. The street is […]
Hôtel Le Bristol, on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, is one of a handful of magnificent five star hotels in Paris that cater to a clientele of which I am not a member. One or two drinks in the bar and then it’s back to my humble three star abode for the night. I do, […]
