Thinking outside the Parisian kitchen

Just briefly when thinking outside the Parisian kitchen for a minute Id also like to share some other observations I have had in Paris..

- there is no such thing as 'too much cheese'

- the arc de triomphe is in the middle of a round about with 6 unmarked lanes, like Canberra's Adelaide Ave round about on steroids

- you can never have too many photos of the Eiffel tower

- the bank of 'Bred' is a major financial institution here

- there is no such thing as 'too much cheese'

- donuts (this is not a food reference) on the river Seine in a large boat are fun

- pedestrian crossings are safer with accompanying traffic lights

- the louvre museum is bigger than all of Australia's 'Big Things' put together (reference: http://www.bigthings.com.au/)

- French children dress better then me

- there is no such thing as 'too much cheese

Enough About Fruit

After approx 21 hrs in the air it is oh so worth it to be in Paris! Just recovering from my first taste of indulgence after a fabulous international dinner with my dear friend Betsy from Boston and co. Apparently when you ask for chocolate mousse for more than one they forget the small plates and just bring you the mixing bowl with spoons. This the first sign of a better way of doing things.. so good and I'm not even a sweets girl!

Citrus reticulata

How did I manage to get a mandarin through Hong Kong and into Paris and yet last time I went to Hobart, Tassy I was nearly arrested for forgetting it was in my bag..
