Quand l'appétit va...


We have a famous saying in France that goes "quand l'appétit va, tout va!" ("when your appetite is fine, everything else is") and, well considering the huge "Gauffre" aux marrons (chestnuts waffle) that I had today, well, there is no doubt: I'm perfectly healed ;-) My God was it yummy... Now I can go back to working like normal ;-( ! Have a great weekend everyone, it's 15 degrees C in Paris (60° F) right now, not a single chance of snow.

  1. Glad you are better, Eric. The bad bug was in Ohio, too. Not nice on the family, though I escaped it.

    Your picture is yummy! Great waffle colors in the carousel!

    Did it stay warm very long in your weather?

  5. This picture sums up everything I love about Paris - great food, cobblestone, great buildings and lights. I love the smell of the chesnuts roasting there. Thanks for giving me a taste of Paris each day. It is -12C in Minnesota - so 15 sounds good!

  6. Hey, Anonymous, you stole my comment about the weather here in MN. Oh well. It has snowed the past two days, also. I'll be enjoying some 15C/60F next weekend when I meet up with some Los Angeles area PDP fans.

    I'm glad you are healthy again. But, be careful with those sweets, mon ami!

  14. Eric, I'm so glad you are better--and eating rich French food again! Where did you find the waffle?

  15. nothing else registers with me but the waffle. Does it contain sugar cubes like the Belgian ones? I am craving one now....and I was just fine before I saw this picture.

  16. Where did my comment go ?!

    Congratulations on kicking the flu's butt so quickly! :)

    However am a little jaleous of your 15C since we had very cold winds in SF lately.
