Finally, Desmond had a day off! He was finished with work and school except for a couple of times when he would need to be present for makeup tests with certain students. We slept late and after Des finished work on a paper he was writing, we headed out the door to go shopping. I was looking for baby clothes to take home to some of my nieces and nephews. There seems to a baby boom going on in our extended family. It was so nice to wander the shops with my son, talking and laughing, savoring every moment together.
A friendly neighborhood kitty.
Desmond had some business to attend to at the prefecture which would take a while, so I walked over to a cafe across from the cathedral, where I enjoyed a cafe creme while doing a bit of people-watching. I was quite content. After Des returned, we strolled over to a wonderful bakery on Rue de Bourgogne where we picked up some sandwiches for lunch. Desmond chose the duck breast with herbed cheese and fig jam. My sandwich was pate and onion jam. Both were on crusty baguettes and were quite good.
We shopped a bit longer and then headed home to prepare crepes for our evening meal. We made buckwheat crepes for the savory gallettes and some wheat flour crepes to be filled for dessert. It was fun taking turns swirling the thin batter around on the pan and watching the stack of finished pancakes grow higher.
It was fun to make crepes with Desmond.
A mouth-watering dessert crepe.
