meilleurs voeux

So I live right next to rue de Levis which is a market street filled with specialty shops (cheese, meats, fruits/vegatables, bread, even olive oil). Imagine the beginning of Beauty and the Beast except without the singing or reading.

Unfortunately on the same street is a big chain grocery store and I must confess I always end up succumbing to it's convenient charms and regretting it afterwards.

But for New Year's Eve this year we decided to avoid the overpriced restaurants and eat in. Seizing the opportunity we went from specialty store to specialty store to get what we needed. Although it did require more time, surrounded by the aroma, colors, and expertise of "les artisans" shopping for food became more of a pleasure and less a chore.







Happy New Year.
