Secrètes de Paris

Brenna immortalizes her dessert.

Brenna (of Context Paris) and I went to dinner at Senderens the other night, for research purposes, of course. Our haute-cusine meal was just €115 each, including wine and dessert. Not bad considering it used to be about four times that back when it was Lucas Carton.

My Vanilla Millefeuille...the one that got away.

The downside to eating such amazing food is the frustration of not being able to finish everything. And it's not like the portions are supersized, just very good, and very rich. It's a shame to waste one crumb. This lovely Vanilla Millefeuille escaped only half-eaten, despite being "wafer thin" and light as a feather. Monty Pyhon fans know what was going through my head. After the meal we got three more nibbles: a chocolate truffle, a chocolate macaron, and sort of crumbly brittle candy. That macaron somehow fell into my purse and made a nice snack the day after.

Next time I'll wear my yoga pants with the elastic waistband.
