Look what I found on VINGT Paris, one of the blogs Cathy mentioned:
"On a cold night, one of the finest things one can have to warm up is a tartiflette. The Savoyard dish of potatoes, lardons, and melted Reblochon cheese is a wintertime standard around France, well outside its mountainous region. I tucked into one that was not only warming but absolutely delicious. And best of all, it was made by a young lady just down the street.
There was no overpriced formule with paltry choices. There was no disinterested waiter to ignore me. And the cost was negligible. This was actual, home cooking – from a neighbor who heretofore was a complete stranger.
That's the premise of Super Marmite, a social site that allows you to discover what's cooking in the myriad apartments in each of Paris' arrondissements. And to taste them. And – if you're interested in cooking – to share what you have with others. Cooks can post what they're making, how many portions are available, set a (reasonable) price, and the time and date it will be available for pick-up."
Now we can forget those rude waiters, and we don't even have to cook.
Yes, I saw that Penny. But we might have to reciprocate. Anyway, I was trying to stay away from food postings, but it is very hard in Paris. I have to make a dessert for tonight's staff holiday party at the library. I don't usually do desserts but maybe I'll try one of the pastries in Paris by Pastry....Or maybe just brownies.
ReplyDeleteOK, the brownies are baking in the oven. Now wasn't that a lot easier than a financier or a madeleine? I remember why I don't do desserts now. The raw dough and batter are too tempting. So we will just have to buy them in Paris.
ReplyDeleteYes, brownies always work, although I sort of wanted that pretzel strawberry "salad" that Camila talked about.
