The Great Mosque and a Great Party!

My buddy visiting Paris from Switzerland and I spent yesterday roaming around near the Great Mosque to St. Germain des Prés, along the Seine, by the Cluny... really all over! We bought posters and postcards and earrings and shoes and....food. :)


We had lunch at the Great Mosque! It was really beautiful, covered with mosaics, and smelling of spices and tea.


We had tagines for lunch, and here is my Agneau avec Aubergines, or Lamb with Eggplant.


If you've been reading DB for a while, you know I love coconut macaroons. Well, i've never had a French macaroon! I hope they taste as amazing as they look! Definitely have to try one before heading back to Boston on Friday. (Nooooo!!!)


Our girlfriend threw us a petite soirée with several of her Honey's colleagues from the Paris Police force! She had prepared for us an INSANE spread of food! Mini pancakes with a caviar spread, hummus with carrots, a selection of charcuterie, chips, bread with nuts and figs, pasta salad with chicken and spinach, and of course! Beaucoup de Fromage!





I may or may not have had a little of this! Ok, i think we went through a bottle of rosé, 2 bottles white, a bottle of red, and a bottle of champagne...


Great company, great food! And, lots of practice speaking French! I think we did pretty well!


My goodness... How I woke up early to perform at a church service this morning, I'll never know! :)
