Paris

I was snooping around the cupboards of Cyril's restaurant when I made an exciting discovery ... the biggest jar of Nutella that I have ever seen! It was time for dessert, anyway ...


Where Cyril grew up in the suburbia of Paris (Actually - he's in the corner carrying a neighborhood kid on his shoulders) The property is beautiful - and this estate, specifically, has a unique charm - replete with a tunnel that leads to the cathedral across the street! (shown in the picture above)
Holding my favorite dish of all time - Boudin. In English: Blood Sausage. (Despite my sincere attempts at introducing Ryan and Ann to this Parisian delicacy, they share a much less favorable impression this coagulated blood dish).

Margot, who holding the Boudin with me, is a good friend of mine from Paris. She is actually going to be flying out to California this summer to help me with both sessions of Culinary Kids - throughout all of July. If I bring Culinary Kids to Paris next summer, she will be working with me to develop the program in France.

At a neighborhood party that Cyril's parents hosted. For me - it meant yet another undefeated streak of ping pong (; (I am convinced it is my intimidating "squatting" stance that facilitates my victory)
