Put your pencils down people. You have had plenty of time to try and figure out how my mind works….if indeed you have figured that out, please let me in on the secret, ok? So, answers to this week’s haiku:
little eye contact, even less personal space, get me out of here
Here you have a […]
First off, I just have to say that I could not love this graphic more and would chop it all up and use it a million different ways in crazy collages or decoupaged on a pendent to create a necklace or bracelet charm. Too much fun. The guy is Napoleon and Musée des Arts décoratifs […]
It has been brought to my attention that not just anyone would lie in bed, worrying about life’s little odds and ends and come up with something like “Paris Haiku” for a post. ”Just how exactly does your mind work?” I was asked and if I had the answer I might pursue being more normal. […]
The French are struggling with a most puzzling situation that the aging population all over the world might want to pay some attention to. According to statistics released from National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) in Paris, French centenarians have risen from 3,760 in 1990 to 20,115 in 2008. With their zest for […]
The ritual of a greeting between two people should be an uncomplicated, stress-free expression of acknowledging one another, should it not? I either kiss the person I am greeting or hug them or shake their hand, depending on our relationship. If I have just met you and really like you, you might be a bit […]
I have been missing these last few days and for that I apologize. But I am back and it was just brought to my attention that Easter is around the corner which means that many of you are probably either on spring break now or will be over the next few weeks. For those of […]
I have had a curious interest in this most misunderstood of women, Marie Antoinette, for a long time. History hints at a self-indulged young queen, which I am sure has an element of truth to it. But my guess is that hers was not the easiest of lives by a long shot. If one could […]
Macaroons. I, we (everyone in my household) love these delicate morsels of deliciousness that you can find all over Paris, in many wonderful flavors, made by numerous pâtisseries. They are fluffy, airy things with a crunchy outer shell and a luscious dense, but creamy filling. They are the color of sorbets–rich but edging on translucent. […]
I let things slide last week and didn’t challenge your knowledge (or mine for that matter) about Paris but now’s the time to fire up your brain cells.
Question:
How many bridges span the Seine river?
16
26
36
46
A number of beautiful and not-so-beautiful bridges carry pedestrians and traffic back and forth between the right and left bank and onto […]
Today I was doing some research regarding Paris and came across some amazing photos of the city taken during the “Exposition Universelle de 1900″. I wasn’t really thinking that there was more to this world-wide gathering besides what still exists, namely Le Grand Palais and Le Petit Palais. But, oh my gosh, to have simply […]
