Petit Plaisir

Unpacking all the goodies I brought home from Provence. I normally don’t bring all this food home but I couldn’t resist. Some amazing olives we had during a wine tasting, honey made with lavender, olive oil from and olive oil farm I visited, and fig jam.

On My Paris List

Ha noi 1988

Ha Noi 1988 is one of those restaurants, where every time you walk by, there’s a line out the door of people waiting to get a table. I’ve had it on my list for a while now, but haven’t made it yet. It looks like a great spot for when you’re tired of French food and want something different like Vietnamese. There are three locations now around the city, and I hope to get to one of them this summer.
