Day 15 from France: Quelle Horreur!
(What A Horror)

Shaboom sends us her update from Paris...

The day started with a pot of Earl Grey Tea, a yogurt, some fruit and a tartine with cheese. Then I went up and down the stairs a hundred million times as I did lots of laundry and cleaned the house from top to toe because we were having company over in the evening.


Obsessed! interrupted me about halfway through, right after I had changed the sheets, for a little indoor cardio - 30 minutes.


Obsessed! is thinking about buying a crêperie from Ophélie and Stephan so he invited them over for dinner. We started with paté tartines, bread, cheese, chips and BEER. OMG it's been a long time since I've had a beer.



Obsessed! makes the most DELICIOUS carbonara.

Here are the chouquettes and meringues that we added to our dessert.

Homemade pineapple sorbet! Homemade whipped cream! Homemade chocolate sauce!

Yes, I had seconds!

Stephan was an abominable dinner guest. We were horrified! For example, he didn't understand why Obsessed!'s carbonara had no cream sauce, the way most Frenchmen make it. We explained that we were serving it the way it's prepared in Italy but he said without cream sauce, it would be too dry and absolutely inedible. He didn't even try a bite before he went to the fridge and helped himself to cream which he then poured onto his dinner in front of the chef and the rest of us who were happily stuffing the non-creamy version into our pie holes. I couldn't believe Obsessed! didn't kick him out then and there! Needless to say, Obsessed! will not be buying anything from them. They can keep their stinking crêperie.
