Not because I don't know what goes together, but because the possibilities just seem endless! parisbreakfasts: I hope you got the Paris-Brest at Patisserie des Reves...

Lucky you. I've often thought a perfect job would be ice cream flavor consultant--helping customers decide on their combos. Think of the good you'd be doing for mankind! And you're completely right about weather and ice cream. I actually kind of prefer ice cream in the winter. But I might just be saying that because summer is a ways off again...

I'm with you, ice cream has no season! Zurich locals agree - even in the darkest, coldest days of winter, there is a line outside Mövenpick here! I love that! When I was living in Paris, I used to go to Le Bac à Glaces quite often (ok, very often). Next time I'm there, I'm getting that prune ice cream for sure. PS - I totally have the very same brown espresso cups, white trim and all. They were my grandmother's from when she was young! Crazy!
