Mesdemoiselles Madeleines

For all my followers out there, I apologize. I know I said I would post about an amazing dessert a few days ago and didn't, but I have a good reason for disappearing. One of my best friends got married this weekend and without exaggerating only got about 10 hours of sleep in 4 days. 
what I call a blurry weekend 
                                   
But now I am back. And here is all you need to know about Mesdemoiselles Madeleines: it is even better than a La Durée  macaroon. If you appreciate fine things in life and have a sweet tooth, you probably ate a La Durée macaroon while in Paris. Well now you have to add to your to do list a madeleine from Mesdemoiselles Madeleines.
These small rich cakes, baked in a shell-shaped mold are already delicious "nature," but add some raspberry or some caramel or some black olives ... yes I said black olives ... and your memory of what a madeleine is will completely change. For the better. 




I was amazed, and you will be too, by the way the owner Steve Seremes and the pastry chef Stéphane Bour reinvented the madeleine: a true gift to anyone with appreciation for fine foods and truly the entire collection will suprise you. It is unique and D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S, and definitely a must try if you are lucky enough to find yourself in Paris soon. 


If you are not, but are lucky enough to be dating a flight attendant or even just being friends with one, perhaps you can convince her or him to go Rue des Martyrs and pick some up for you. 

PS: the owner Steve is super sweet!


Until next time we meet ... Live, Love, Laugh & Travel & Bon Appetit

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

I am not "just" SINGLE

Image
Being single is fun, but sometimes being the only single person in a group of friends can be a little tiring. It's like they forget that you are a person with a job, hobbies, dreams etc ... All they want to talk about is if you are dating or not, who you are dating and why you are not going on date number 2  etc ... Well sometimes I don't have an answer to all of those questions, and sometimes I just don't feel like talking about it. But it doesn't matter to them. They are in a relationship, they don't get to date, so you become their Carrie Bradshaw and well, I am sure it was fun for Sarah Jessica Parker to play Carrie in Sex and the City but it was a show and this is real life.  And the last weeks in my real life have been crazy. I have been super busy finding an apartment in NYC - not an easy task by any means - and honestly, putting together my bed, my sofa, my coffee table and my multiple dressers has been my priority over going for dinner with...

Underwear Situation

Image
When I was in Mumbai last month, I met two very fun Lufthansa flight attendants. We had so much fun partying at night that we bought semi- matching kaftans. Check us out:                                             But rest assured my post today is not about our matching outfits, even though it easily could be. Clothes and I, we love each other. The post today is about how Emma, one of the Lufthansa girls, who ended up in underwear outside her room in the middle of the night.  It was Emma's first work layover. She had never been to India, let alone at this hotel. Lucky for the rest of us - not so much for her - the rooms in our crew hotel in India are beautiful and very spacious. On the left you find a big bathtub as well a big shower and a huge sink decorated by a very ornate elephant statue, and behind the huge bathroom, there is a huge King bed and usually a...
