cross it off the list
bonsoir tout le monde! hope things are good and you’re kicking back enjoying this perfect night.
it went fast but today was the last day of the show and a good time was had by all. there was a lot of tasting and talking and i just wanted to share a few flavors our chef brian presented. above is a gorgonzola-stuffed grape and below is the original four cheese and pear fiocchi pasta from labratorio tortellini of italy.
mmmm, it was so good! there was truly an incredible amount of vendors and new products and thank god there were volunteers who came and took all the extra stuff from the convention center to local shelters.
et voilà! tomorrow i belong to this city and can’t wait to get with my girls and run around town. till then, i’ll just digest…bonne nuit and suite dreams!

If I wasn’t hungry before popping over to your site to check what’s new chez toi, I am now! Thanks to these yummy pictures, I’m making reservations for an Italian dinner tonight! My husband and I will toast you with a glass of Prosecco! By the way, next time you’re in Paris you should snag an AirBerlin flight and come chez moi for a celebration Berlin Style!
All the Best,
