MIDD Kid à Paris

Oui, c'est vrai, Middlebury me manque... (de temps en temps)

Cuisiner

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to participate in a cooking workshop organized by Middlebury. The evening was filled with fine French cuisine, wonderful wine, and great conversation. To top it off the woman's apartment was on the 8th story of a building that looks over the Jardins de Luxembourg (my favorite park in Paris) with a panoramic view of the entire city: Eiffel Tower and Tour Montparnasse on one side and the Pantheon, Sarbonne, and the Seine on the other. Truly a once in lifetime dining experience.

Et voilà quelques photos de la soirée de belle cuisine.

"Moveable Feast"

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a
young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your
life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
— Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), U.S. author.
