Return to real life...

     I'm again at home in Saint Paul... back in the real world.  Living as a Parisian is over.  But I'm o.k. with that (for now, anyway).  I'm always happy, at a certain point, to return to my kitchen and my refrigerator (where at the moment, there is absolutely nothing to eat).  Today I will work at replenishing our food supply, but soon enough I will start posting photos of my time in Paris -- truly one of the best trips I have ever taken there.  On this visit with my husband (a rarity, having been there only once with him before) we met our daughters' high school French teacher for dinner (!) one evening.  The following night was spent with Stacey (of Stacey Snacks) and her husband, Henry, at their over-the-top apartment in the 8eme (with a balcony view of the Eiffel Tower). It was a pinch me experience; not only because of the setting, but because Stacey and I have followed each others' blog for the last seven years -- with Stacey based in New Jersey and me, in Minnesota.  It took our mutual love for France to finally bring us face à face. 
     So... allow me to get organized, get something made to eat, deal with the eggplant and beets that continue to produce wildly in my garden, and upload my hundreds of photos.  I will be back soon with pictures, stories, and recipes...

Welcome home Eileen! For me the joy of travel rivals the joy of returning home. I look forward to hearing all about Paris in your upcoming posts.

I am the sister of your daughters' French teacher and just wanted to say how much I enjoy your recipes. Your peach upside down cake is a new family favorite. My grandsons love it! Glad to hear you all had dinner together in Paris!

Hi Anne... Yes, we had the best time (and food) together in Paris last week. It was one of the highlights of our trip! I am so glad to hear you like my blog. I'm anxious to get into my old routine of baking and photographing again! Thanks for the comment.

Great seeing photos of your trip! Frank and I enjoyed our bike trip around Versailles with you! Unfortunately, Paris is becoming too distant of a memory already.

Hi Courtney! Thanks for stopping by LivingTastefully! Yes, it is feeling rather distant, unfortunately. At some point I'll post photos from our Fat Tire Tour of Versailles. It was a fun day...
