Lundi 4 fevrier Leaving Paris
Does this happen to you?
Your last day of a trip (I have to return to NYC for visa paperwork etc.)you decide you're going to indulge yourself and have something you've been longing to taste (in my case anyway it's usually food). This divine tarte au pomme is from Secco and thanks Gawd they didn't have the mini 5 euros size available. But this tarte is out of this world Fab. I have tasted this tarte FYI on several unforgetable occasions.

Next Paris indulgence please
SPECULOOS spread or tartiner.
I have been eyeballing this almost daily in every supermarche I enter (I enter many being a fan). Interesting tidbit of information - all supermarches seem to stock the tartiners on the bottom shelf, so you have to kneel down to find them (and praise them appropriately I suppose...).

My booty at the Monop checkout counter lovingly arranged.
Simply flatten your croissant to fit in the toaster.
Then proceed to slather with the Speculoos spread = sheer unadulterated heaven IMHO.
A little background info - my father was a big gingerbread fan (a not so distant cousin of Dutch Speculoos) so naturally I feel a deep genetic attachment to this cookie/spread. Am I wrong? Speculoos ingredients:
flour, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg.
David Lebovitz did an homage to speculoos spread all fans shouldn't miss.

Yesterday I saw TWO dogs of the day!
Stuff like that happens on the day of your departure doesn't it?

My bus even goes past Opera Garnier..miam. A tip about taking the RER B to CDG. They now have sort of conductors in red jackets and caps to make sure you get on the correct train standing at the boarding doorways. They do not board the train. There is now a 20 minute non-stop ride to CDG!(9.50 euros)Yay!
My near empty suitcase gets checked in at Air France/CDG
Bear oogles some other bears in Duty-Free but he doesn't get to fulfill his last day indulgence malheureusement.
We both can't resist the quiche at Exsis..
In the AF departure lounge a last silhouette of Paris..
Happily the AF plane is near empty and we get to snooze all the wayhome back to NYC.
Cross yr fingers for us today/croisez les doits.
