Three months in Paris! This has been a quieter month with the holidays, but we’ve still found a few new things to enjoy here. Some December highlights:
La Grande Epicerie Paris, the giant and amazing grocery store associated with Le Bon Marche (one of the big department stores) where I was able to find some cocoa powder for baking Christmas treats and a nice bottle of port to give J for Christmas
Coutume Café, our new favorite source for coffee beans and breakfast burritos (really!)
l‘Epicerie de Bruno, where J was able to track down a tortilla press as a Christmas present for me (which I promptly used to make the "traditional" French Christmas breakfast of eggs and homemade refried beans on tortillas with blood orange juice mimosas)
Bistrot Paul Bert
Affären, a great source for Swedish grocery items in Paris
l’Ambassade d’Auvergne, where we had a delicious pre-Christmas dinner out. I first discovered this restaurant on a trip in 2008 and have returned twice to enjoy the aligot, a delicious cheesy mashed potato concoction
Paris-Hanoi, a great Vietnamese restaurant in our neighborhood
Repeat trips to Candelaria, Le Baron Rouge and La Briciola
Brownies so good that even my weird microwave/convention oven could not ruin them
And some adventures with a visitor that has been staying with us all month. . .
