Paris Juju – Pain au Chocolat

Pain au chocolat has nothing to do with pain and everything to do with pleasure. It’s like croissant pastry – flaky and light – with strips of chocolate baked inside. 

Join me while I indulge in one as soon as I arrive in Paris.

    “Ohhhh, there’s the chocolat!!” LOLOL. Please film and post every pastry feeding time! Food Network is starting a Cooking Channel. You could so compete with a Paris Eating Channel. Lots of hard work, but you’re all about that!!! :):)

    Karen,
    Thanks! I have a few pastries that I need to catch up on:
    croissant
    croissant aux amandes
    croissant aux amandes et chocolat
    I also plan to indulge in a yummy fruit tart and perhaps one of those whipped cream doo-dads. All for the sake of filming!
    Anne,
    It is torturous! But you get to enjoy it without the calories! I’m taking the hit for you!

    Once upon a time I decided it was time to “let go” even more than I already had, really enjoy the moments, stop worrying about others’ opinions of me, and learn to live fully. Then one day not all that much later, I discovered your blog.
    Watching you eat a delicious treat, all fresh from your trip and in love with having arrived in Paris… what a free, in-the-moment, completely alive experience! You’re a magnificent teacher.
    Thank you for sharing your moments of being your delightful, creative, inspiring self! Yum indeed…
