I took a morning off from what seems to be constant busyness and enjoyed a cappuccino and pastries with a friend. One of my all-time favorites is chouquettes, made from choux pastry dough that is piped into little mounds and topped with a large course-grained sugar. I was first introduced to chouquettes in Paris by our friend Maria. She would purchase a little bag full of them from a patisserie for snacking while we walked the city. It's another one of those "when you can't be in Paris" treats that is easily made at home, but gives me the feel of being somewhere special.
