Eating My Way Through Paris

Last week I got back from a fantastic trip to Paris.  I am lucky enough to have parents who come up with brilliant ideas like renting apartments overlooking Notre Dame.  We walked, we shopped, we saw the sights, but mainly we ate.  Here are some of the highlights, many of which I may try my hand at reproducing at home. 

French onion soup (check out all that cheese!)
Smoked Duck Salad from Chez Toinette in Montmarte
Beef Tenderloin with Madeira Sauce also at Chez Toinette
 
Roquefort Fondue, yum

Sometimes the best thing is just a hot latte.
 
The only thing that would have made the trip any better would be if Mark had been there with us, but for now, I will have to try to make the French onion soup for him.
