My Paris Journey
1
We’re moving to Paris… tomorrow!
Yup, that’s right, we’re packing up shop and moving over to the land of …. and of chocolate macaroons! Actually, rather, we’ve already packed up shop – over three weeks ago. The stuff is slowly plodding it’s way across the Atlantic (just off the coast of Newfoundland as of tonight).

Moving into the apartment in 40 seconds
Last week, we showed you our final apartment selection with the House Hunters style series. However, getting all of our stuff into our apartment was probably even more fun.

Going to the farm and picking fresh produce!
One of the things we both really enjoy doing is going to u-pick farms and picking our own fruits and vegetables. In the past, we’ve primarily picked apples, blueberries, and strawberries. Given it’s fall (crazy, huh?), we figured it was time to go out and pick some apples.

The Beaches (Paris Plages)
Let’s make this clear up front – Paris is nowhere near a beach. The closest oceanesque body of water with sand is roughly 200 kilometers away – and the water there isn’t terribly warm either (the nice stuff is down south). So what do the Parisians do in the hot summer months (aside from close up shop and leave)? They truck in a boatload of sand and setup a beach right in the heart of Paris on the Seine.

My Paris Swim/Bike/Run Resources
Are you coming to Paris? Looking for places to swim, bike and run? Or just simply want to see where I swim/bike/run? Well, here’s the skinny on all my favorite training locations – complete with maps and downloadable routes.
Delicious. If you ever want help getting rid of all that food, just let me know and I will eat all of it.
I never, ever get tired of your food and meal pictures.
And of course the cupcakes are spectactular as well.
Ok, now you have me curious to make waffle fries on my mandolin. I have not done it yet because it seemed too complicated. You know me and machinery, LOL.
Hey Liz – It’s not too bad actually. A little rough the first few fries until ya figure it out. I think regular potatoes would be far easier than sweet (which are longer and harder to work with). The trick to the waffle (vs the ripple) is alternating direction each time.
Wow, all the food looks so good! Thanks for the links to the recipes.
Rainmaker-I’m glad you are enjoying your downtime from training. It’s great you have other hobbies-I was recently bemoaning my interests are one-dimensional!
Congratulations on a great season of racing.
That all looks great…it looks like you baked the fries? What was the deal with the ice water? I’ve tried baking some sweet potato fries before, but they didn’t turn out to well and didn’t have an ice water step.
Awesome!!! Everything looked great and made my stomach growl at 7:40 in the morning! Or maybe that was the extra black coffee. Either way, being an aspiring home cook myself, what was the significance of putting the sweet potato fries in ice before cooking? Just curious! :)
YUMMMOOO!! you guys eat SO well! i think im gonna try out the caramel pork (although it looks wayyyy complicated!)
Oh my there is some serious drooling going on here!!! And your pics look better then the ones from the link! I think you may have missed your calling, although I’m not sure if it is the cooking or the photographing!
Yummm…looks good! But the cupcakes are my favorite.
OMG I must go eat now – that all looked SOOOOOO good!
looks amazingly delicious! you definitely deserve it.
Mmmmmmmm…. Hungry monster… I’ve been really enjoying your blog for a while now. Any chance you could give us blog followers an article on core training (if you do any, and if so what) so we can work of the calories of these great recipies.
Looks great…but then you’re not throwing food at two <5 y/os in the mix!
I must say that Risotto looks amazing and I will be buying the stuff to make it this weekend! Do the two of you go through all of those cupcakes or do you pawn them off on co-workers and friends? I love me some cupcakes but dang I feel like you guys have a new batch every week.
I love the days when W&S, Cooks, Bon Appetite show up…i know what the menu is for the rest of the week…
According to Wikipedia, Food safety (or food hygiene) is used as a scientific method/discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. NYC catering companies have suffered a lot due to the pandemic. Closing indoor dining, limited staff, cutting of working hours, delivery and carryout, and others
