I am not a real sweet eater but today was. The question was: should I go downstairs to the convenience store and get a Magnum or should I go out to some cafe and eat a crepe. These kinds of thoughts seem to invade your peace of mind right before lunch or dinner or worst yet when you are grocery shopping. That is when you come away with pacakges of things that you usually whould never buy.
It was before lunch when I was getting this attack and so thought well, "I'll eat my mozzarella di buffola (yes I have discovered where to get Italian cheeses in Paris) and the boiled fennel with olive oil straight from the hills of Montalcino- one of my my best friends is a producer. After lunch the desire for the magnum, that was winning out probably more for convenience, seemed to die down. A nap was at hand so about 3 o'clock i woke up and decided to head towards Luxembourg gardens a five minute walk. The sun was out and it seemed warmish.
Of course as soon as i go out it gets cloudy. Luckily the clouds were blowing in the wind but that made it cold too. I made it over to Luxembourg and decided to have a tea at the little cafe near the Senate. Lo and behold they offer crêpes so violà my dilemma for the day was resolved.

YUM!! The first time I had a dessert crepe like that was in Bergerac, and I was hooked.

It looks great. My French teacher mentioned crepes yesterday because it was Fat Tuesday. I didn't realize it was traditional to eat them on Fat Tuesday.

I hate to sound so stupid but what exactly is a "Magnum"? My first thought was a gun and then of course Magnum PI popped into my head...both obviously not what you were talking about.
That crepe does look delicious!!

I would have gone for the crepes too - save the magnum for when it gets warmer.
