Great with kids, too, as she incorporated M & J in various tasks.
Michael pitting cherries.
Cheese was our favorite.
It was the only rainy day of trip - unusual downpour for a Paris summer.
Pesto, raviolis, almond flan topped with cherries and ground pepper - I've forgotten the rest.
Pesto bruschetta was the starter course. A delicious blend of basil and parsley spread onto artisan baguette, smeared with fresh garlic which, kid you not, completely melted onto the toasted slices. The pesto was topped with lemon zest and toasted walnuts and, while initially cool towards pesto - we make it all the time - it was a revelation. Really really delicious. Like most things, the intensity of the flavors had to do with the freshness of the ingredients.
It was a relaxing day of cooking, eating, drinking, then all over again for several courses. Then we walked onto the streets to see the African neighbors parade in support of the Ghana team in the World Cup.
The police were prepared for trouble -these are the areas which saw rioting not too long ago.
We went to the Bon Marche to get some presents and was completely floored by the kitchen section. Most of the stuff you could get back in the States, but the presentation scored.
The store cafe was in retro modern - a design motif I saw at the Louvre, as well.
Parting shot of the boys climbing over rocks at a sunset swim back in Switzerland.
A favorite series of shots back at our Paris apartment. The ironwork was a nice detail.
