Partager Smiles at Paris Cafes


The weekend has arrived once again in Paris...and one of the best ways to spend your time is in one of Paris' many cafes, especially the "petit" hours of the night...after you have returned from your "formal" entertainment of the evening...Take the time to just sit down for a few minutes ..and "informally" try that decadent digestif you've always wanted, but never dared to try, may I suggest some armagnac or an ancient cognac...and snuggle up to  Enjoy the café life of Paris!

Partager Coulis de Salidou


It is the time of the year to take advantage of all things sweet! especially CARAMEL! I think I have maybe overdosed on that frame of mind as I look in the mirror...but, we still have time to perdre les poids before its time to put on those summer frocks.  Plus, if you follow the religious tradition of Lent, or maybe just join in the Mardi Gras after-party routine, you will be leaving the Sweets behind...on someone else's behind...ha. But while we can, let's partager some CARAMEL!  Who can go wrong with this delicious specialty from Brittany made from sugar, fresh butter, cream and salt from the Guérande...

Partager Chocolate


Well, you know what they say about Le Chocolat?  Everyone loves it!  The weekend has arrived once more in Paris....and the proper thing to do if you are invited to someones's home for an evening of food and drink...is to take them a small cadeau.  So, tonite, we are invited out, and I am in search of the perfect hostess gift...and guess what comes to mind?  Bien Sûr!  Le Chocolat by Servant.  
They are some of the best I have eaten, and I have put many to the test.  It is artisanal chocolates made with 100% cocoa butter.   Their Ganaches are a reason to have a party and hope someone brings you a box...or maybe just go and buy your own!  They are smooth silky mixtures of chocolate and cream with a tiny touch of butter...and infused with a touch of coffee or tea, or fruits or a small hint of a liquor...or maybe even a bit of red pepper (happens to be one of my favorites, two flavors I had not imagined went so well together)
So, just to name a few that appeared in my last hostess gift...Le Palet Servant, L' Araguani, Le Tonka, Le Jasmin, Le Caramel Poire...such a name dropper I am...shall I go on?

think about Partagerai some Chocolats with someone this weekend...
