Per recommendation of Ehjeen, will start posting photos of all the delicious pastries I'm eating here...

First of all, I want to start off by saying that I'm eating lots of delicious things other than pastries as well, but that they happen to be my main food group at this time......

Delicious produce = delicious salads = I haven't gained the 30 pounds I thought I did due to a technical difficulty with a scale (I didn't know I was supposed to calibrate it to 0 first so it was at 14kg = 30.86 pounds - I was completely obsessed that I gained all this weight and fully convinced until Andreea looked at it. Yes, I'm a moron.)



Almond meringue.... it was actually twice as big before I realized I should take pictures of it.... it was a long walk home from almost next door!

Hopefully the internet won't explode from its future full of delicious pastries!!! And if I take pictures of everything, I mean REALLY full!


On other subjects...

Miss Andreea, that was fun (check out the pictures, here).

Also - I definitely love how great Paris is for cinema. Particularly for old American movies. Went to see "Gaslight" last night.


It was excellent but I can't remember who recommended I see it.... Was it MaryBeth?

Going to movies are always a good way to improve ze french. What I learned from this movie:
French version of "I would love to sneak a peak..." "I would love to throw a punch of the eye...." YES!! Love it.

Definitely prefer the smallish theater, big comfy red seats, lots of really cute old and young people (the theater was almost full) and the movie starting around 25 minutes after schedule NOT because of previews, but just because. I don't remember the last time I felt so at home and relaxed. Finally feeling out Paris and finding my niche.... cinema & pastries. I really don't need anything else!!


Lastly!

Got a new little job - at a really chic Spanish restaurant on the Seine downtown. Here's the site.
Really excited.


The woman that hired me was really sweet, AND I was too broke to dine extensively in Spain so I'm glad that I will learn about spanish cuisine afterall! And THIS job doesn't require any slippery metal trays! Oof that was a disaster.... definitely not a waitress haha :) Here I'll just be a hostesse (reservations, taking peoples' coats, etc.) couple of times a week which is just perfect.

Had a few really warm spring days... a gorgeous preview of springtime in paris. some of the cherry trees are already blooming :)
