Yesterday Bethany said...I love your blog. Its absolutely sensational and the highlight of my days!!
(Thank you, Thank you dear Bethany)
I was wondering if you could do a post on the typical French girls apartment. In the movies it always looks very thrown together, simple and chic. I know you must have insight on this!!!!

That would be fantastic...
At first I thought no.But after careful reconsideration, I decided yes! I should show you that French girls are not so "thrown together" or casual. In fact quite the opposite. Especially now that you've seen what a hopeless slob I am. The contrast is riveting. This is the entry way where I was to drop my bag immediately upon arrival.
My bag from the MTA by the way, with its NYC subway map always gets positive attention in Paris. Including from the staff at Pierre Herme(!), who like all Parisiens adore New York madly.
Back to Fr Girls apart - I'll be discrete and show only a few select areas. The cuisine is always immaculate. There is a place for everything and everything is...bla bla bla.
An adorable welcome sign was awaiting me - these chalkboard decorative wall thingies...
Not a single pomme is out of place...
I became chef dish washer while staying with Fr girl. She does not like to faire la vaisselle...ahem 
Very important coin de cuisine - Fr girl adores her apero in the evening...
Fr girl is a terrific cook and can whip together something fab in no time.*Note all the cookbooks...
*Note stacked on another shelf - Fr girls chocolate bars.Could you do this?
I could not.
NO WAY.
6-7 choco bars in the house at one time - are you kidding me?
Fr girls petit dej' - a ton of Normandie butter with a little toast and tea on the side. This was always a shocker for me...
Of course Fr girl was shocked at my concoctions. i.e. this soup, a staple of mine when I'm away. I make a big pot of it and down it for a quick lunch or dinner, preferably while standing up in the kitchen. Fr girl renamed it,
"American Soup"
No decent French person would go near such a conglomoration of ingredients. It's simply not done!
I hoped against hope that some of Fr girls orderliness would rub off on me...No such luck :(
I really coveted Fr girls macaron tablier...And it's in RED too!
BONJOUR FR APPARTS'!!!
appart' is slang for apartment or at least I think it is...
