Thanks for the quinoa article!
these honey jars are wonderful....
is possible to find them anywhere in paris????
What good fortune! My flat is just around the corner from Cafe Pinson. I agree it's a lovely addition to the neighborhood! Have you visited Nanashi, the Parisian bento spot, just across street? It's wonderful as well. Hope to see you there.
I had a good laugh reading this in the New Yorker!
Oh, my goodness! Thanks so much for sharing the food packaging article. I love it!
