Good Eats

Oh! And as for the requests/suggestions we got from the Paris experts among you:

1) Chappy, I did get a chance to eat a street panini. It was brie, ham, and cheese, and it was totally delicious! You were right.

2) K.C., we ate some delicious camembert cheese from one of the local shops. It was so smelly that the entire apartment stank of camembert for days. The smell was totally pungent. We could smell it as soon as we opened the door to the apartment, despite the fact that we kept the cheese in the fridge, wrapped in wax paper, inside the wooden package we bought it in, and sealed in a ziplock bag. It's like the odor was a living entity.

3) Chad, I'm sorry to say that we didn't make it to Fauchon or Hediard. We did, however, eat quite a few macaroons from the bakery by our apartment. We ate some that were hot pink (strawberry), some that were a vibrant orange color (fig, maybe?), and some that were green (pistachio). They were really wonderful. And so were the croissants.
