The Fleemarket in Paris is huge. I have never been able to manage to go since fashionweek means work 24-7. This time I took the time. And it was worth it. I must say the market was more inspirational then a place where I would buy something. The traders know what they can take for they goods and most of … Read More
Aux Deux Amis
This is what French people look like when they discuss what wine is the most suitable for the occasion. I was wishing for full body and low on tannins. I love how serious they took my wish. We ended up drinking an a wine from Loire. We had dinner at my, at the moment, fav. Parisienne wine bar: Aux Deux … Read More

Or “Poor Knights” as we call them in … Read More

Last night I made marmelade on Lemon and Mate tea. It was a great a bitter combination that works perfectly with dark bread. … Read More
Fikon Marmelad

Late night snack
