Paris Day Dream

I awoke thinking about butternut squash soup topped with Gruyere croutons accompanied by pear salad with wine pairings of Sauvignon Blanc and Voignier. Yes.....I am in charge of the first course for Thanksgiving. While double checking with Barefoot Contessa about my grocery list I got distracted by her description of cheese and the best places to purchase this dreamy fromage in Paris and I thought, well, wouldn't it be nice to..........



stay at the Hotel de la Tremoille



visit Poilane for a loaf of bread or two, hmmm, maybe three

I would buy an insane amount of cheese, so much that they might offer me employment

chocolate from Pierre Herme' (Love the mushrooms)

of course we need some wine from Legrand Fille et Fils

What else could we possibly want? who knows, but we should find it at La Grande Epicerie de Paris!

A nice Parisian man agreed to hall my enormous clock back to the hotel for me

I can't go anywhere without shopping for paint.....

may I PLEASE join you?

Finally woke up and I'm off to the store...I'll definitely stop by the cheese department.
