Prêt-à-Porter

 I forgot to get thin for Paris...

 But I'm reading Wheat Belly and though I'm not celeriac I did cut out

All wheat/gluten. Low and behold my pants fit better and my coat buttons don't pull. There IS something to this!

 Still 1st thing in Paris tomorrow I'm off to Le Boulangere de Jocteur for a Lyonaise sable cookie.

 Next on the agenda - Piscine Saint-Germain to work off that cookie and get ready for

 An October 'jardin' Pierre Herme macaron -  rose, fleur d’oranger et gingembre. Miam miam

 There shouldn't be much wheat at the opening of the Salon du Chocolat next week should there? Just chocolate.

 Jeanette will want to know what I'm wearing to the opening. My AnneMaisonneuve macaron T-shirt

 Plus the famous N2 Les Nierides macaron bracelet.

 And because Raids-Patisseries says it's 'cocktail' wear, I'm popping this ridiculous Sonia bow on my head so I can look a complete fool but somewhat cocktailesque. HMPH

 The following week more wheat-free chocolate fantasies await at the annual Vaux le Viconte Salon du Chocolat on 10 - 11 November.

 What a perfect setting for chocolate immersion and just a short train ride out of Paris to Melun.

 Quelle wreck!

As usual I am not packed/pas pret comme d'habitude. Many drawings to do before I go off. I'm painting in Paris if you want to order a pet portrait and eating macarons at Angelina for a watercolor assignment (woe is moi).

Bear, on the other hand, is pret/ready as always and raring to go.

AHEM
