we started off with cafe' au laits
then
i ordered the croque-monsieur and nicoise salad~
hubby had the spinach and roquefort omelette with a croissant~
*
we escaped all that had to be done for a while
i had to remind myself i wasn't in paris
; )
i love that the talented chef here believes in
solid unassuming french cafe fare
*
and sensible prices
; )
+
an onsite baker of croissants
*
it ended with chocolate and blueberries
and promises of having more afternoons like this
in
2010
; )
i am headed your way to visit your sweet blogs
*

i send you love
one love

Wow, chocolate and blueberries to end on, is there a better way? yum!
So glad you so enjoyed yourself. It looked scrumptious, and that desert. oh my! I wish you many many more love filled days my friend. All the best for the New Year. I got a bunch of spices for Christmas, so I may have to start cooking. I will be watching for your recipes.
Croque M'sieur!!!

Christina, each time I visit here your post gets better and better. How do you do it? :-) I'm wishing you a happy happy and a blessed new year, may all your wishes (even the tiny tiny tiny ones) come true! Sending you hugs and love.
Your date sounds divine.
Happy New Year!!!! Many blessings for 2010 and beyond!
Oh I am laughing and my stomach is now rumbling and I shouldn't but I will compare your fabulous meal with my experience yesterday. Just a hamburger, please, mustard no onions, a small one, I said, and when it came it was slathered with mayonnaise and ketchup, though they got the no onions part right, and no says I, mustard, please and so kind they were, we will cook another for you, but within moments they were back, new burger in hand, but not really, just the old one, most of the mayo swiped off, and tons & tons of mustard swiped on. A place I've been going to for years, but never again. I shall instead come here and soothe my soul with accounts of food made with love.
Happy 2010!!
:) Debi

First time visit to your blog via Kamana. What an appetising delight! I enjoy cafe lattes too. My husband makes me two every morning for breakfast. I am spoilt. Those tasty morsels in your post are beckoning but alas, down under is too far for me to drop in.
Mmmmm lovely! Wishing you joy and blessings in the new year, my friend. :)
xoxo,
mary
I really don't need to eat anther thing but you make it sound so appertaining.
Wishing you an amazing 2010 and all the creative inspiration you can conjure.

Oh now I'm hungry...! Yum. Happy New Year sweet woman. All the blessings your heart can hold in 2010 are wished upon you! Keep up that one love stuff I just LOVE it. xoxo
I found your blog through Magpies Fancy/Gigi today, and I have already fallen in love with it. You really have a talent for writing and it is a joy to read your posts. I have already read a lot of your post and I can not wait to read more.
I hope it is ok that I linked you to my (Norwegian) blog. If you should stop by, I have a google translator on the top right corner which trnaslates my whole blog in asecond (not the best translation but I guess pepole understand the meaning) :-)
I whish you a happy New Year!
I'm thinking the lunch looks yummy and then...I get to the cake. And seriously, I can almost, but not quite, taste it--and it is truly driving me insane. Now let me go wipe the drool off my chin...
Have a lovely new year.
YUM, YUM, YUM! Looks pretty and tastes delicious I bet. Yes make those of those dates in 2010 with hubby.
:)
Happy New Year Christina! Here is to more croissants, and pain au chocolat, and croquembuche and amour, oh oui, tojour l'amour (even if we are only reminded of dates when we have one) Much love and happiness to all of you in every language.
This is making me so hungry! If I ever come to town, you and I are going here! Wish this was around the corner and down the street from where I live!
xo
What a delicious feast! (And after the holidays isn't it lovely to be FED for a change?)
I do feel sorry for people who don't really love their food. Don't they miss out on so much pleasure?
Oh yum! I want what you had.
oh, that meal. at this moment, my dinner of popcorn just does not feel sufficient. sniffle.
