I went to Paris with Ralph in March and I never did get a chance to put the photos up, so here are a few of my favorite food photos from Paris. Honestly, I was underwhelmed overall, but I’m glad I went.

Except for brussel sprouts, I’m down with German foods. It’s in my blood I can’t help it. So when a coworker brought me a baby packet of German candy, Brause-Stabchen, I was thrilled. At first bite of the cola flavored stick, I thought it was good, but then it delighted my tongue with fizzing action very similar to Zotz centers (thank you sodium hydrogen carbonate). It has 5 flavors: apple, orange, lemon, cola and himbeer (raspberry?!) You can buy them at a German Deli, once they restock on my new favorite treat.
So i was “testing out” i.e. eating the sh*t out of a product (icing) that has our cocoa powder in it and it’s really yummy; I must have eaten about a cup of it and then I saw it: high fructose corn syrup! Rats. Guess I won’t be cramming any more into my gullet. I can’t believe I didn’t read the label first, I always do. Sigh, it’s a shame because that was some serious yum.
A friend just sent me this incredibly comprehensive list of chocolate and chocolatiers. It even goes so far as to tell you which chocolate brands are carried at specific grocery stores. It’s awesome, but it only covers NYC and boroughs, so those of you still in the area should take advantage of it!! Go forth and eat chocolate.
So once again the warehouse dudes score big time and share with yours truly. This time instead of bacon, it was piles of snacks, my favorite being the Cheez Croc-o-Doodle from Wise. I love how hip the Croc is, with his gold chain and his devil-may-care attitude! I also love that I’ve had a cheez doodle mustache for the past 3 days. Sweet Life.
My new tattoo. All I really wanted to do Tuesday night was go bowling with Liz, but this happened instead. I do love hot dogs!! Liz and Mike both got them, too and others are to follow.
I told my friend Farley about my dog tat and he sent me this sweet link to the drive-in movie song, featuring a weiner. I love it.
It’s been a while since my last post, I’ve been busy trying to get a new car. I heard from a guy that runs a site all about Chocolate beer. It’s really cool, he not only reviews beer but he also has a ton of recipes on how make your very own chocolate beer. Check it out and if you brew any, don’t forget your pal Jenna.
I found a link to this chocolate company in Santa Fe, Kakawa Chocolates, which specializes in making old school recipes of chocolates. I’m talking ancient school. I think it’s a cool idea and the website has a ton of chocofacts.
Well, they are finally taking approved to be an organic facility and if you want to read all about how Vosges (and you) are helping the environment, click to read all about their green initiative.
