Buche de Noel

I used to make my own and mine looked like a real log with dark frosting that I ran a fork over and a bump for a branch and it had chocolate mousse inside and I dusted it with snow sugar.

These are the yule logs of top French chefs in Paris. Some are very original. I am sure they all taste divine. Wouldn't you like to go sample them all in Paris this year?

Have a Pink day!

Paris when can I see you again?

It has only been 3 months since I was there but I am sure missing Paris already. The incredible beauty that is all around in that city really makes me feel so happy. I wish I were a smarter person so I could figure out a way to "need " to go over more often or make more money so I could go over!!

These images make me want to go right now and also make me hungry too. The pastry in Paris is so, so, so YUMMY and so fresh. I miss the bread too.

Most desserts are eaten rather quickly by moi! They are so flavorful and not as sweet as our desserts. Lenotre pastry shop in the 16 arrondissement is a favorite stop for carry-away treats.

I just watched the season premier of Gossip Girl and it was shot in Paris. And it was shot at the same time we were there because the Chanel window and the department store windows are the same. They changed the Chanel window while we were there and it is the one on Gossip Girl.

Have a PINK day!
