The other day, I made these pancakes. They were incredible. I put chocolate in them and splurged on real Canadian maples syrup and ate and ate until I wanted to burst.
And I didn’t take any pictures.
I’m sorry, I really am, but the thing is, it was nice, for once in a very long time, to just make something and enjoy it. I stood at the frying pan and scooped pancakes onto the Canadian’s plate (with a fried egg on top, of course), while eating my own right at the counter. I enjoyed them piping hot, not even taking a moment between when they landed, warm and oozing chocolate onto my plate, and picking up my fork for the first bite, to even consider taking a picture.
I made them again a few days later, and this time I actively decided not to take pictures. It’s nice to love cooking just because sometimes, so I know that this means that you out there can’t see the fruits of my labors, but just rest assured that they are just as good as Lis says and that they come highly recommended from me.
And you obsessive food bloggers out there? (Guilty.) Please take a moment to make something, anything, and just enjoy it with whomever you’re eating with. No pictures required.
Hi 🙂 I’ve just found your blog and I enjoy it!
I do that all the time, cook and not blog about it. The food is more enjoyable that way for me.
I note you’re in Paris, I’m going next week! Any recs for “must-go” restaurants? Nothing too expensive nor famous, I’ve heard of all those and doubt I can get a reservation at such short notice anyway. I’m talking about random restaurants.
I love two restaurants on rue Christine: le Christine and Café Fernand, in the 6th. I also love Café Constant in the 7th. All are homey and easy to reserve tables at. I never feel like a tourist dining in them, even if they are a bit nicer than what I usually treat myself to.
Thanks for the recs. I’m going to add them to my long list of foods-to-eat/eateries and hopefully will be able to fit one of them in somewhere! I read your review of the raclette place Le Serpent Qui Danse and I will probably go there if my relatives don’t take me off somewhere else!
