Un petit repas

un petit repas

I used to travel with an assortment of cutlery (plastic) 

and small plates, but you can buy just what you need 

at Bon Marche or at a Monoprix.

We often feel that just a little taste of pain et fromage 

will get you through the early evening and give you the energy 

to stay out late enough to see the sun go down at 11pm.  

In the summer months the Paris sky stays a translucent blue 

until the wee hours of the morning.

Theme Day - Nourriture à emporter!

Carry-out!

In Paris my favorite "carry-out" is not a single café or bistrot, but the whole row of shops at Place Maubert.  One can start at the wine shop with the friendly King Charles Spaniel; move next door to the fromagerie, to the market on the corner for some fruit, the Charcuterie for saucisson sec, and finally Eric Kayser for une baguette Monge and a pastry for dessert.

You always stop last at Eric Kayser so you can stand in the fast-moving line for baguettes, still warm from the oven.  While you are there grab a little something to have with your café in the morning.  

Eat one of the warm baguettes as you stand on the street outside.

Now I am hungry!

Baguette Monge

Certainly there are many fine boulangeries in Paris but for me, the perfect baguette can be found at Eric Kayser (on Rue Monge).  You must ask for the Baguette Monge, and if you have good timing, it will be still warm from the oven.  

They are a little over 1€ - what a bargain.

For a little piece of heaven, step outside, pinch off the top, 

and take a bite while the steam fogs your face.
