I love that the French are so dedicated to their dessert ritual that lunch menus come with dessert. As if to say the mid day meal is no less deserving of a celebratory treat and something sweet. My sweet crepe with sugar and yuzu butter from today.

went to a french pastry cafe two weeks ago with my mummy !!1!1!!1! #ilovemymummy❤️❤️❤️
they had these REAALLL fancy desserts so we got 2x to try… the yellow one and the light brown… the apple was too beautiful to eat🥹❤️
yellow: yuzu, black sesame cream, blackberry jam 10000000 + ♾️ /10 OH MY DAYYYYYZZZZ it was DELIGHTFUL. light and not too sweet, actually a bit sour which was so nice because i dont like sweet desserts much…
light brown: hazelnut & pastry, 8/10 it was a bit dense and there was just a lot of the hazelnut cream but to be fair i was riding the high of the yellow one so anything wasn’t as good in comparison…
overall a wonderful trip. shoutout sweet soul in christchurch☝️☝️☝️

Unlike anything I have ever read before. Raw. Dazzling. Paradigm-shifting. Tender. I have just been chewing through it. Underlining every third sentence. I was reading it while eating French toast this morning and leaning over to reach the straw of my iced oat milk latte with my mouth because I literally did not want to take my hands off the pages.

I mean, the romanticism of finding a wine made in New York by a French woman (pascaline) in champagne, I couldn’t resist. for all the warning by the somm about how this was ”really natural,” I thought it was refined, bright, and intriguing in the way that most wines made by interesting people are. I think I remember it tasting like raspberries, pink lady apples, lemon, and basil. Tart, a bit yeasty and wild, floral and aromatic, yet still deeply serious and delicious.
