Wet ‘n Wild! It doesn’t take much to turn me on around here. For example, I know that very few of you will be as excited as I was to find this at Tang Frères… But Alisa and Ms. Glaze?…you know you want it too… Hot Duo! Wanna see two Parisian studs going head-to-head in a groovy Parisian loft? (Click to continue reading, for Adults…
Making caramel is easy! You’re simply melting sugar and cooking it until it darkens to just the right color. And that’s it. simple, right? Yes, it is, although some have told me they are afraid to make caramel so I thought I’d offer some tips, advice, photos, and encouragement, to make your own caramel. For additional information, you may also wish to read Ten Tips…
Seriously my friends, is there anything better than chocolate and toffee together? Especially when the toffee has a brown sugar-flavored buttery snap and luscious chocolate is smeared over the top so it hardens and melds with the crackly caramelized matzoh underneath. When a marriage is this good, a picture can only do partial justice to the love that exists between the happy couple. The Caramelized Matzoh…
Le Brunch is indeed available at some places in Paris, but I’m not necessarily at my best being around people first thing in the morning—and I’m not so fond of Le Brunch either. So I compromised on the more civilized hour of 1pm for dining on the weekends. Not much is open in Paris on Sunday, so I had suggested Breizh Café, a tidy corner spot specializing…
Last night I rounded a corner, and looked up. It made me realize that sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in too many things.

Although I don’t think happiness necessarily depends on where you live,…
Last month, I received an invitation to visit the French Sénat where laws are debated and decided on, or not. Like most of the government buildings here in Paris, this is one spectacular. It’s very ornate with lots of gilding and chandeliers and gardens that are plucked and shaved within an inch of their life. Gardens are well-manicured in France and are meant to be…
I decided my entryway was a disaster and got on the stick and pulled everything out and straightened it up. Actually I didn’t get that far. I did pull everything out, but lost interest and didn’t put anything back. The good thing is, I can’t leave. So I have to stay home and work. That was really dumb. This my new mobile phone. I’ve nicknamed…

I’m a deadline for a project and am panicking about it. So…being a world-class procrastinator—what did I do this weekend? A. I scrubbed the hose of my showerhead. B. I contemplated the safety of a wild boar sausage some Roman friends brought me. There were some mysterious things in there that I couldn’t cut through as well, but I’ll spare you that footage. So far…
