This week…
I spied Marc Jacobs, busy at work, through a window at work.
This morning, I could hear my neighbor practicing the piano.
Wednesday night, I back and forthed between the creamiest vanilla crème bruleée and the richest chocolate mousse at Chez Janou.
I felt so happy to see Jeremy and Tiffany after several years; and so happy to see Mel upon her return from Paris.
And smells? Well nothing is better than that fresh-baguettes-from-the-oven smell from the Paris boulangeries.
Bon vendredi!
Ohhhh maaaannn ... let me see..
ReplyDeleteI saw Red Hibiscus spilling over the wall of an old house.
I heard music in the park .. Tango songs.
I tasted scones with dried fruit and hot strong tea this afternoon.
And I smelled Jasmine that my housekeeper sprayed all over the apartment before we came home.
(somehow none of it really lives up to a baguette in Paris though :)
Both your guys' sensory observations sound so nice! :D I guess mine would start with the sound of the lawn being mowed by my next door neighbor because that's what I'm hearing right now...But I agree with a Broad, the baguettes' smell is something worth traveling halfway across the world (at least for me) to experience ;D
ReplyDeleteI like this game--
ReplyDeleteI watched a thunderstorm come from the west across the city to me from my 17th floor office window;
I tasted the perfect balance of a Willamette valley pinot noir with an oxtail stew on Wednesday night;
I awoke Friday to a raucous morning call of birds and listened until I could hear the pattern of call and response and identify the types of birds;
I smelled a freshly toasted bagel and coffee and savored every bite and sip (this was hard; I didn't come across too many memorable smells late this week);
As for emotional--fierce intensity of focus earlier in the week with total exhaustion but slowly realized relief and relaxation Thursday and Friday. Funny how it comes slowly after such an intense time.
