Fromage Fort

I revisited one of my favorite food items today...fromage fort. I have concocted this in the past, but have let it sort of fall by the wayside in recent years. I was walking through the local market this afternoon looking for some lunch when I stumbled upon a vendor with a huge vat of this amazing stuff. I didn't get a picture of it...as usual I was so excited about the food I forgot to document it. But I bought a (relatively) small amount to bring home and enjoy with some baguette. Being the cheese freak that I am, this is just heaven on a baguette. Every fromage fort is different. This one [...]

Goes perfectly with une verre de vin rouge. Un crepe avec jambon et fromage. Ham and and melted cheese folded inside a thin pancake. The perfect takeaway lunch. [...]

Paris Travels

I've been thinking and talking about it for as long as I can remember..'I want to go to Paris for an extended stay and pretend I live there'. Well, it's going to happen. I leave my home on February 4, and from February 5 through April 2 I'll call Paris home. I've got lists galore about what to bring, what not to bring, arrangements I need to take care of before I leave, cat instructions for my husband. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've been to Paris many times before, but this time will be different. Aside from a handful of family and friends who have already committed to visiting I'll be on [...]
