I think French desserts are almost impossible to copy at home. They are just so precise and you need to be a magician and chemist to create them! But they are lovely to enjoy here 🙂
These had garlic-sesame sauce that I think you would LOVE! Today we had cold noodles again – this time with peanut sauce. Yummy.

Your breakfast is always fresh and yummy. When you come back home, I am sure you will miss the bread, croissant, and all kind of tender bread just come out from the oven every morning. and also the creamy milk and the french yogurt.

When you dry the four pieces coverings, you must miss your home very much I think.

I found myself wanting to go in search of more “adventure” destinations this summer, which for me means places known for natural beauty and where the language isn’t one I speak fluently. So I don’t know how soon I’ll return to Europe, but Paris will always be really special to me because it’s one of the first places I knew what it meant to fall in love with a city and where I felt I left feeling changed. I hope you get to return soon!
