<description><![CDATA[Vous l&#8217;aurez probablement compris je suis gourmande. Très gourmande. Comme un chat. Alors lors]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Vous l&#8217;aurez probablement compris je suis gourmande. Très gourmande. Comme un chat.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Alors lorsque ma belle-soeur nous propose de nous arrêter dans l&#8217;un des temples du gelati et de la cioccolata en revenant de notre balade au Luxembourg, forcément j&#8217;applaudis et je dis oui. Yum, yum, à moi le bon chocolat chaud!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le chocolat chaud fait instantanément revenir un millier de souvenirs d&#8217;enfance, de petit-déjeuners au Banania chez mes grands-parents maternels. Au Nesquick chez mes grands-parents paternels. Des matins de vacances, de paresse, de lenteur, de la douceur infinie de mes Mamies, de mes grands-pères plongés dans leurs journaux.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il ramène le parfum des chocolats chauds au Van Houtten bus chez mes parents. Il ramène les balades en forêt, le feu dans la cheminée, les dimanche après-midi qui passent lentement, entre devoirs et lecture.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un chocolat chaud c&#8217;est comme une couette moelleuse dans laquelle on s&#8217;enroule et on se cache pour oublier le monde extérieur.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3178" title="IMG_1478" src="http://ilovestilettos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_1478.jpg" alt="IMG_1478" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more-->Aujourd&#8217;hui le chocolat chaud est synonyme de petit-déjeuner avec Mr Papillon, le samedi matin avant d&#8217;aller faire le marché. Il sera le parfum associé à de nouveaux souvenirs construits à quatre mains.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bien sûr j&#8217;ai expérimenté le chocolat chaud chez Ladurée et chez Angelina, inoubliables évidemment, mais pas aussi addictifs que je l&#8217;aurai cru.<br />
Amorino est donc une nouvelle découverte, un nouvel endroit de délices et de saveurs, un petit bout d&#8217;Italie gourmande à Paris.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3179" title="IMG_1471" src="http://ilovestilettos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_1471.jpg" alt="IMG_1471" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ici point de luxe à l&#8217;ancienne comme chez mon pâtissier préféré, plutôt une ambiance de café italien inspiré par sa ville d&#8217;adoption. Simple, chic et chaleureux.<br />
On pourrait apprécier un service un peu plus présent et soigné, mais la gentillesse est de mise, et on sent que toute l&#8217;attention de l&#8217;équipe de la petite boutique se tourne vers la conception de jolies glaces en pétales ou de chocolats dont la densité m&#8217;a l&#8217;aissée songeuse&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3180" title="IMG_1480" src="http://ilovestilettos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_1480.jpg" alt="IMG_1480" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Image réalisée sans trucage: la petite cuillère hésite à entrer dans le chocolat et se dit que finalement à la surface c&#8217;est bien aussi. Nous frôlons le mythe de la petite cuillère qui tient debout dans la tasse.<br />
Dans nos tasses différents parfums plutôt réussis: orange-cannelle ; poire ; noisettes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3181" title="IMG_1477" src="http://ilovestilettos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_1477.jpg" alt="IMG_1477" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le parfum noisette &#8211; avec ses petits morceaux de noisettes &#8211; m&#8217;a donné l&#8217;impression que mon chocolat avait été préparé avec une version artisanale d&#8217;un Nutella amélioré à peine allongé de lait entier. Un régal!!!<br />
En quelques minutes notre petit creux et le froid ont été oubliés, l&#8217;automne et l&#8217;hiver pouvaient prendre toute la place, nous étions parés à les rencontrer. A nous les longues promenades dans Paris et dans le froid, avec un tel chocolat à l&#8217;arrivée, je peux marcher quelques heures!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3182" title="IMG_1473" src="http://ilovestilettos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_1473.jpg" alt="IMG_1473" width="600" height="450" /></p>

<description><![CDATA[Piano del Governo del Territorio di Bergamo Analisi ed intervento del Forum per una Sinistra Unita e]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Piano del Governo del Territorio di Bergamo</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Analisi ed intervento del Forum per una Sinistra Unita e Plurale della Bergamasca.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em> </em></p>
<p>Non è forse la priorità ne la madre di tutte le battaglie, ma affrontare il tema della programmazione del territorio cittadino e della grande Bergamo diventa urgente perchè i tempi amministrativi stringono, entro il 5 Dicembre verranno esaminate, controdedotte e approvate le circa 600 osservazioni pervenute sul PGT.</p>
<p>L&#8217;adozione da parte della Giunta di CentroSinistra di questo strumento di pianificazione era avvenuto con ritardi ma con un&#8217;ampia condivisione di massima dell&#8217;impianto complessivo e con alcune riserve relative ad alcune questioni specifiche di merito.<!--more-->Ora non si tratta di difendere tutto e a tutti costi per contrastare alcune scelte che sta organizzando il centrodestra, (nuovo Stadio) ma cogliere l&#8217;occasione per tentare di migliorare ulteriormente l&#8217;esito della approvazione definitiva, alla ricerca di nuovi equilibri più avanzati di quelli previsti.</p>
<p>Con la consapevolezza che sui contenuti è necessario ritrovare un&#8217;ampia unità di coalizione, vogliamo aprire un confronto aperto, allargando in questa fase la platea dei soggetti che possono e che vogliono dare un contributo di idee e di iniziative.</p>
<p>E&#8217; pertanto convocata una prima riunione per:</p>
<p><strong>MERCOLEDI&#8217; 4 NOVEMBRE alle ore 20,45<br />
presso la CGIL in Via Garibaldi 3 a Bergamo</strong></p>
<p>alla quale far seguire un gruppo di lavoro dei disponibili per i successivi approfondimenti e con la documentazione necessaria</p>
<p><strong>Coordina: Fausto Amorino </strong>del Forum per una Sinistra Unita e Plurale della Bergamasca<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Intervengono: Pietro Vertova </strong>capogruppo dei Verdi in Consiglio Comunale a Bergamo, <strong>Francesco Macario (Cocò)</strong>, già assessore della Giunta Bruni</p>
<p>I temi che vorremmo approfondire in questa serata dovrebbero soffermarsi essenzialmente:</p>
<ul>
<li>sull&#8217;impianto      generale e le linee di fondo degli ambiti strategici (dimensionamento      aumento popolazione e posti di lavoro, consumo di suolo, ecc.)</li>
<li>su      alcuni dei 52 ambiti di intervento previsti, (Porta Sud) ma anche su      alcuni PII problematici approvati precedentemente (Sace, Enel, ecc)</li>
<li>su      alcuni piani e sistemi di settore       (mobilità sostenibile, cintura verde, servizi, ecc)sul sistema      delle regole (perequazione)</li>
</ul>
<p>Insomma, affrontare i nodi e le controversie con proposte condivise adeguate e all&#8217;altezza della situazione attuale di opposizione.</p>
<p>Per informazioni o adesioni <strong>al Forum inviate una mail a </strong><a href="mailto:sinistraperbergamo@gmail.com">sinistraperbergamo@gmail.com</a> o <a href="mailto:katya@gramscibergamo.it">katya@gramscibergamo.it</a> oppure contattate telefonicamente Maurizio Colleoni (3292141530) o Gianni Sentieri (3383823067).</p>

<description><![CDATA[Sigh.  Time management may just be the nemesis of my as-yet-to-bloom writing career.  Finally, at 11]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sigh.  Time management may just be the nemesis of my as-yet-to-bloom writing career.  Finally, at 11:15 p.m. on a Sunday evening, I find some time where my head feels clear enough to formulate run-away thoughts into phrases, sentences and hopefully paragraphs.  Although cliche avoidance is rule #1 for writing, I must confess I spent the majority of last week running around like a chicken sans head, and so did not write.</p>
<p>After a grueling week (well, officially <em>two</em> weeks of work since I was on duty last weekend), Saturday and Sunday proved to be a much needed respite.  The days leading up to this weekend were so busy I forgot to notice that my most favorite time of the year is upon us.  Ever since I was a little girl, I have adored fall.  During grade school, it meant sharp pencils, new saddle shoes and fresh ballet slippers.  Now it means working out lesson-plan organization, mastering evil copying machines and keeping track of 50 students&#8217; papers in 5 different classes.  Oh and thanks to a mother that just gets me, cute new paper clips and these thing-y&#8217;s:</p>
<div id="attachment_223" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 131px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/artsdevivre"><img class="size-full wp-image-223" title="binder_clip" src="http://artsdevivre.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/binder_clip.jpg" alt="A quick search on the Staples website taught me these are officially called &#34;binder clips.&#34;  Hmm.  Despite using them for years, I don't think I had ever actually called them anything.  " width="121" height="121" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A quick search on the Staples website taught me these are officially called &#34;binder clips.&#34;  Hmm.  Despite using them for years, I don&#39;t think I had ever actually called them anything.  </p></div>
<p>Tease me all you want, but whether you are 7 or 27, there is a certain <em>je ne sais quoi</em> about new school supplies.  Notebooks full of blank pages begging to be filled.  Sharp, fresh pencils waiting to scratch across paper.  Or binder clips prepared to organize 50 students in 5 different sections&#8217; papers.  Can you tell that as I (albeit slowly) find my new organization, I am once again taking refuge in the details?  It provides a soothing effect as I work out the bigger (and obviously more important) challenges I face.</p>
<p>Today was the perfect fall day marked by periods of intense sun, intense wind and intense clouds.  For those of us who have trouble deciding what we want, it was just right.  Feeling the sunshine, breeze and clouds on my skin calmed me down as my mom and I wandered in pursuit of more quirky and interesting towns in the environs.  Quirky towns found today: none.  Quirky ice cream parlors found: one.  I swear by Amorino biscotti flavored ice cream (eating at least one serving a requirement I give to any friends traveling to Paris), but I think today I may just have met its match: ginger-flavored ice cream from Kilby Cream.  The surprising and innovative ice cream flavor teamed up with the impetuous fall weather to (almost) succeed into fooling me I was on the Pont des arts in Paris instead of on a farm in C.T.</p>
<p>I am tired, overwhelmed and feeling faintly like I am drowning in work.  But a funky ice cream parlor on a farm placed an unexpected jewel in my partly cloudy day.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Voilà une bien belle journée passée en compagnie de la Demoiselle ! Une vraie journée de parisiennes]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a rel="attachment wp-att-727" href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/mercredi-cest-kandinsky/poussins1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-727" title="poussins1" src="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/poussins1.jpg" alt="poussins1" width="400" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Voilà une bien belle journée passée en compagnie de la Demoiselle ! Une vraie journée de parisiennes sous le soleil de la fin juin. Le matin, quelques emplettes dans le quartier (<em>ben tiens, c&#8217;est les soldes tout de même !</em>), et des fous rires dans les escalators de Monoprix (<em>on a le rire facile&#8230;</em>) Un déjeuner tardif en famille (<em>quoi ? c&#8217;est déjà 13h30 et t&#8217;es pas couchée ?</em>), une heure de boulot gagnée pendant la sieste (<em>juste de quoi trier les dizaines et dizaines de mails reçus quotidiennement</em>&#8230;) et hop nous voilà parties pour le programme de l&#8217;après-midi.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-722" href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/mercredi-cest-kandinsky/exp-kandinsky/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-722" title="EXP-KANDINSKY" src="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/exp-kandinsky.jpg" alt="EXP-KANDINSKY" width="210" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Deux coups de métro et on rejoint Beaubourg pour l&#8217;expo Kandinsky. Ce n&#8217;est pas la première fois que j&#8217;emmène la Demoiselle là-bas mais cette fois, elle a vraiment profité de la vue. Ouaouh, la Tour Effeil, comme sur <a href="http://www.encyclopediainteractica.com/" target="_blank">Poisson rouge</a> ! Heureusement il n&#8217;y avait pas trop de monde. Enfin tout est relatif, disons qu&#8217;il y avait beaucoup moins de monde que pour aller voir Calder. On a beaucoup aimé, toutes les deux ! Même si, comme souvent dans ce genre de rétrospective, je trouve qu&#8217;il y a trop à voir. On se perd, on en prend plein la figure, et au final, on retient quoi ? Simplement que j&#8217;ai mieux compris l&#8217;évolution du style de Kandisky, et aussi, étrangement, que la peinture qui m&#8217;a le plus touchée est une représentation figurative assez naïve&#8230; Un <a href="http://russianavantgard.com/Artists/kandinsky/kandinsky_landsc_near_murnau_locomotive.html" target="_blank">paysage avec une locomotive</a>.</p>
<p>Ensuite on a trainé dans le Marais, on est bien sûr allé prendre une glace chez <a href="http://www.amorino.fr/parfums/carte%20parfums.pdf" target="_blank">Amorino</a>, incontournable et tellement délicieuse (chocolat, stracciatella et framboise, rien que du très classique j&#8217;en conviens&#8230;) Encore un chouette moment avec la Demoiselle, lui faire partager mes petits plaisirs !</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-723" href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/mercredi-cest-kandinsky/amorino/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-723" title="amorino" src="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/amorino.jpg?w=300" alt="amorino" width="300" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>Et hop, de retour à la maison, la découverte du jour : ça y est, <a href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/et-de-deux/" target="_blank">ils</a> sont nés ! 17 jours pile poile, au tacquet madame Pigeon ! Deux poussins donc, qu&#8217;elle protège evidemment avec beaucoup de courage (<em>faut dire qu&#8217;on l&#8217;a un peu embêtée avec la Demoiselle pour bien voir les bébés</em> <em>!</em>) N&#8217;empêche que je m&#8217;interroge, comment de tels poussins sont sortis d&#8217;aussi petits oeufs ?</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-726" href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/mercredi-cest-kandinsky/poussins2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-726" title="poussins2" src="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/poussins2.jpg" alt="poussins2" width="400" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Et sinon, une bonne nouvelle. Alors que je déplorais <a href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/dans-le-desordre/" target="_blank">ici</a> il y a quelques mois de ne pouvoir écouter la mythique émission de radio l<em>a Planète Bleue</em>,(sur Couleur 3, la radio suisse romande), j&#8217;ai vu qu&#8217;elle était désormais disponible en balladodiffusion, youpi ! Pour s&#8217;abonner au podcast, gratuitement, c&#8217;est <a href="http://www.laplanetebleue.com/podcast.php" target="_blank">là</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.grom.it/" target="_blank">Grom,</a> <a href="http://www.amorino.fr/" target="_blank">Amorino</a>, <a href="http://www.haagendazs.fr/" target="_blank">Häagen Dazs</a>&#8230; Pléthore de glaciers se disputent le client dans le Quartier Latin. Dernier arrivé en date: Grom, le glacier italien qui a ouvert son unique succursale en France <a href="http://www.grom.it/fra/pages/dove_parigi.htm" target="_blank">rue de Seine</a>. Le passant n&#8217;a plus que l&#8217;embarras du choix. Qui pâtit le plus d&#8217;une telle concentration et risque de tomber au champ d&#8217;honneur? Enquête rue de Seine et rue de Buci.</p>
<p><!--more-->Il y a toujours la queue chez <a href="http://www.lefigaro.fr/societes/2008/08/14/04015-20080814ARTFIG00289-amorino-un-glacier-italien-made-in-france-.php" target="_blank">Amorino</a>. Le magasin situé <a href="http://www.amorino.fr/buci.htm" target="_blank">rue de Buci </a>a ouvert en 2003. Un petit tour à la boutique de la même enseigne, cachée rue Guisarde près du Marché Saint Germain, et l&#8217;affluence est bien moindre. Selon une employée de la marque, qui a refusé d&#8217;être citée, le magasin bien en vue de la rue de Buci &#8220;cartonne&#8221;. &#8220;Il y a tout le temps du monde. L&#8217;hiver, quand nous proposons des chocolats chauds (une sélection d&#8217;une vingtaine de parfums pour une onctueuse tasse de quatre euros, ndlr) nous attirons surtout une clientèle d&#8217;habitués&#8221;. L&#8217;été, ce sont surtout les touristes. La présence des trois glaciers dans un périmètre si restreint ne fait &#8220;aucune différence&#8221;, répond-t-elle d&#8217;un air assuré.<br />
<strong>Hägen Dazs s&#8217;en tire moins bien</strong></p>
<p>Autre son de cloche chez Häagen Dazs. Eric Venezia a ouvert le magasin en franchise en mai 2005. Selon lui, une telle concentration de glaciers est &#8220;une grande erreur&#8221;. Il regrette presque son choix: &#8220;Je ne suis pas satisfait du chiffre d&#8217;affaires, car il faut beaucoup d&#8217;employés et payer beaucoup de charges, alors que mon magasin est quasiment vide l&#8217;hiver. Je perds de l&#8217;argent.&#8221; La raison? &#8220;La carte des produits l&#8217;hiver n&#8217;est pas assez adaptée. Faire des glaces ne suffit pas, il faut aussi proposer des cafés, des pâtisseries, mais Häagen Dazs ne les met pas assez en avant et c&#8217;est dommage. Heureusement, je propose des crêpes, ce qui a boosté mes ventes.&#8221;</p>
<p>En aucun cas, Eric n&#8217;impute le succès mitigé remporté par son magasin au fait qu&#8217;Häagen Dazs a aujourd&#8217;hui l&#8217;image d&#8217;une marque que l&#8217;on trouve principalement en supermarché ou dans les magasins de location de DVDs, quand les glaciers italiens profitent de la vague &#8220;bio&#8221;. Il insiste sur le fait qu&#8217;il ne travaille pas sur le même créneau qu&#8217;Amorino puisqu&#8217;il dispose de places assises et fait salon de thé alors qu&#8217;Amorino se concentre sur la vente à emporter. Il regrette que le siège de son entreprise mette tant de temps à adapter la carte l&#8217;hiver et à proposer enfin des chocolats chauds, ce qui arrêterait l&#8217;hémorragie de ses clients vers Amorino. &#8220;Je réfléchis à mon futur. Soit je vends et j&#8217;arrête, soit Häagen Dazs trouve une solution pour qu&#8217;on travaille l&#8217;hiver&#8221;. Et Grom? &#8220;Je n&#8217;ai pour le moment pas l&#8217;impression d&#8217;avoir un concurrent chez Grom, ils ne m&#8217;ont pris que 5% à 10% de ma vente à emporter. Mon concurrent, c&#8217;est Amorino&#8221;.</p>
<p>Dans le Quartier Latin, il n&#8217;y a pas que rue de Buci qu&#8217;Amorino et Häagen Dazs se disputent le client: les deux enseignes se trouvent également <a href="http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&#38;source=s_q&#38;hl=fr&#38;geocode=&#38;q=Rue+de+la+Huchette,+75005+Paris&#38;sll=47.15984,2.988281&#38;sspn=22.070627,39.550781&#38;ie=UTF8&#38;z=16&#38;iwloc=A" target="_blank">rue de la Huchette</a>, à Saint Michel, pas très loin de là.</p>
<p>Pendant ce temps, Grom, avec son magasin rue de Seine, mène son petit bonhomme de chemin. Ouvert en août 2008, il est la seule enseigne française d&#8217;une marque italienne qui ne travaille qu&#8217;avec des produits bio et ne fait que de la vente à emporter. &#8220;Nous sommes très contents pour le moment, nous ne ressentons pas la concurrence des deux autres glaciers. Nos clients viennent ici car ils savent que ce sont des produits de qualité, que nous fabriquons nous-mêmes sur place. Ils reviennent forcément&#8221;, déclare une vendeuse entre deux cornets.</p>
<p>La guerre des glaces continuera de faire rage cet été, au plus fort de la saison. Chaque marque déploiera ses plus beaux arguments pour attirer le client, jusqu&#8217;à ce que l&#8217;un deux finisse par battre en retraite&#8230; Et fermer? Rue de Buci, tous les coups de boule (de glace) sont permis&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-347" title="outside metro stop, paris" src="http://janetscherrparks.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/cimg0094.jpg" alt="outside metro stop, paris" width="420" height="560" />bonjour! my husband just returned from paris. oh, how i miss paris, especially this time of year. </p>
<p>my last visit was september 2007. stayed at the <a href="http://www.hoteldulouvre.com/en/?">hotel du louvres</a>. incredible location.  the glass sculpted archway outside the hotel draws you to the metro below. it&#8217;s worth the trip just for this photo.</p>
<p>more about hotel&#8217;s location: it&#8217;s opposite the <a href="http://www.louvre.fr/llv/commun/home.jsp?bmLocale=en">louvres</a> (this is a freebie) walking distance to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Église_de_la_Madeleine">la Madeleine</a> whose steps are covered in blooming flowers, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_Garnier">L&#8217;Opera</a> just up the street with its green copper roof and gleaming gold statues. there are any number of excellent chocolate shops (including <a href="http://www.lamaisonduchocolat.com/en/#/home">La Masion du Chocolat</a>) on the avenue (that would be L&#8217;Avenue L&#8217;Opera) &#8230;if you&#8217;re hungry.</p>
<p>the entire right bank is at your fingertips and walking distance. my sunday tradition&#8230;the <a href="http://www.parismarais.com/">Marais</a>. without knowing, my husband visited one of my favorite jewelry stores <a href="http://cecilejeannesf.org/">Cecile &#38; Jeanne </a>and yes, i now have a delightful ring. here, it is a gift givers paradise. orange and gold. a metallic tasteful gold dove on the logo, in the store, stamped on your lovely package and suede pouch.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-372" title="Hotel du Louvres" src="http://janetscherrparks.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/cimg01011.jpg" alt="Hotel du Louvres" width="420" height="560" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-362" title="la Madeleine" src="http://janetscherrparks.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/cimg0020.jpg" alt="la Madeleine" width="420" height="560" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-363" title="l'Opera" src="http://janetscherrparks.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/cimg0021.jpg" alt="l'Opera" width="420" height="560" /></p>
<p>jewelry in hand (first things first) head to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&#38;rls=en-us&#38;oe=UTF-8&#38;um=1&#38;ie=UTF-8&#38;q=oliviers+%26+co+paris&#38;fb=1&#38;split=1&#38;gl=us&#38;view=text&#38;ei=FLWkSYu1DoKEsAOroZGjAg&#38;sa=X&#38;oi=local_group&#38;resnum=1&#38;ct=more-results&#38;cd=1">Oliviers &#38; Co.</a>   it has as everthing imaginable made with olive oil. lip gloss, olive oil and more olive oil, soap, olive trees, thrice dipped chocolate covered almonds the shape and color of olives. and of course there is sampling.</p>
<p>after you&#8217;ve had your fill of olive oil goodies, head to <a href="http://www.mariagefreres.com/">Mariage Freres</a> to fill your head with tea and pastries. a veritable treasure trove of tea related items. it&#8217;s worth it just to see the giant black tins of tea. you can get a sugar scoop, a tea pot, Earl Grey Imperial Chocolates!!! and of course, lots of loose tea.</p>
<p>you can get a table, too, and put down your parcels.(olive oil gifts tend to weigh a bit)</p>
<p>you&#8217;d think that you&#8217;d be full by now. but, no. don&#8217;t leave without at least looking at the beautiful ice cream at <a href="http://www.amorino.fr/boutiques.htm">Amorino</a>.</p>
<p>the menu board  outside is enticing. featuring the flavors of the season. the inside is a marvel. they turn your ice cream into a flower. really! hazelnut center with coconut and mango petals.(thank you, shelly, the hand model) it&#8217;s unbelievable yummy. really yummy. and i know my ice cream. i do.</p>
<p>for a change of pace and a much needed stroll. head to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_des_Vosges">Place des Vosges</a>. walk under the vaulted arcades. admire the central garden.</p>
<p>find the <a href="http://pagesperso-orange.fr/chourlet/page01.htm">chourlet gallery</a>. the  most charming gentleman will let you browse and flip through paintings. each one is more beautiful than the next.  you can practice saying, &#8220;mais oui!&#8221; he is delightful. buy art. he ships.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Estimados,<br />
este disco me tiene embelesado.</p>
<p>Sin lugar a dudas formará parte del top 2008 a final de año.<br />
Este cantautor escoces (<strong>Ally Kerr</strong>), gracias a varias melodías trabajadas, sabe contagiarnos y hacernos mover el cuerpo. También nos estimula el alma con canciones lentas, poesías hechas canción.</p>
<p>Su primer album (<strong>&#8216;Calling Out to You&#8217;</strong>) salió a la luz en 2005 y se hizo famoso en Japón porque uno de sus temas (&#8216;The Sore Feet Song&#8217;) fué el tema inicial de la película de anime &#8216;Mushishi&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="http://doops.jp/images/AllyKerr1_small[1].jpg"><img style="display:block;width:320px;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" alt="" src="http://doops.jp/images/AllyKerr1_small%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a>Y os dejo la crítica del disco que publicó en 2004 (Calling Out To You) en el blog 360º de separación ( <a href="http://madridmusic.com/360grados">http://madridmusic.com/360grados</a> )</p>
<p><em>&#8220;He de confesar, y qué mejor día que hoy, que cada vez me gusta más el mundo que encierran los libros, por supuesto éstos nunca llegarán a despertar el nivel de curiosidad que despiertan en mí los discos, pero poco a poco van ganando terreno. No obstante mi interés por la literatura se centra en aquella que se ocupa en mundos de otro tiempo o lugar, no me interesa en absoluto el presente y siempre acabo en la sección de literatura fantástica de las librerías. Cierto es que de vez en cuando leo alguna historia convencional, o al menos más factible científicamente, pero casi siempre mi vida entre libros está rodeada de trífidos, robots, anfibios, moradores, cerdis, insectors y otros seres imposibles. Sin embargo estos últimos días ando enganchado a lo que se suele calificar como best seller, que supongo que vendría a ser algo así como el mainstream de la literatura. Como no me considero sibarita en esto de la lectura he caído rendido a un mundo de catedrales a medio construir, rufianes disfrazados de caballeros, religiosos ambiciosos, salvajes asaltos, miserias para muchos, bonanza para pocos….y como siempre página tras página con la compañía de los discos y una música que a veces hace que rocambolescas ideas asalten la cabeza. Y es que ayer mientras leía las andanzas de seres imaginarios en la Edad Media escuchaba a Ally Kerr, y me dio por pensar qué hubiera sido del frágil Ally en aquellos tiempos crueles, creo que ni Ally Kerr, ni Camera Obscura, ni Belle &#38; Sebastian, ni otros muchos escoceses actuales hubieran podido sobrevivir en aquellos días en los que la debilidad de espíritu se cobraba un alto precio. De igual modo creo que solo un genio como Duglas T. Stewart hubiera sabido sacar provecho de semejante situación gracias a su ingenio y perseverancia…..</p>
<p>Pero hoy hablaremos de uno de esos que llegado el caso hubieran caído con rapidez, y es que Calling Out To You, el debut del escocés Ally Kerr, resulta una escucha perfecta para cualquier momento del día. Nos encontramos con uno de esos discos tantas veces escuchados aún cuando gira por primera vez para nosotros, todo esto porque Ally Kerr practica ese tiempo de pop campestre y de aires optimistas que bebe directamente desde el folk de Donovan, hasta el Pop más inofensivo de sus compatriotas Belle &#38; Sebastian, corriendo entre medias el riesgo de caer en la pusilanimidad de los primeros pasos de Camera Obscura, de los que es rescatado de inmediato gracias al apego de Ally Kerr por los finales felices. Quizás es este ánimo de espíritu el que le llevó al escocés a lograr el éxito masivo en un país tan lejano como Japón, donde Calling Out To You fue publicado por vez primera gracias al inquieto sello Quince Records que cayó rendido al trato que en canciones como Someone’s Got A Crush On Me se les da a las relaciones sentimentales, donde no siempre el dolor ha de ser el protagonista, puro candor que para muchos podrá caer en la más pueril sensiblería, pero que conquistó por completo a unos fans orientales que consiguieron con sus compras descatalogar rápidamente la primera edición de un disco que presentará dos caras bien diferenciadas. Por una parte Ally Kerr se muestra extrovertido y juguetón, dando lugar a canciones como la citada Someone’s Got A Crush On Me o Calling Out To You, con ese inicio que parece haber clonado de unos parientes lejanos (o no tanto) como los deliciosos Po! de Ruth Miller. Del mismo lado estará Do You Believe? y All Alone Again, manifiesto cruce del sonido B&#38;S/BMX Bandits (por algo Duglas T. Stewart participa en la producción del disco junto a David Scott, de los Pearlfishers). El resto del disco se repartirá a partes iguales entre la ensoñación y melancolía de temas de influencia más Pop, como podrían ser Another Winter’s Day, So Much More o I Feel Fine, temas donde parece que Ally Kerr da lo mejor de sí mismo, y el respeto a la tradición más folk en The Sore Feet Song o Midst Of The Storm.</p>
<p>Pero lo más sorprendente de Calling Out To You es que bajo todas esas amables canciones, presentadas de diversas maneras pero siempre de apariencia sencilla, manteniendo la frescura de su simplicidad en todo momento, nos encontramos con muchos más elementos escondidos de los que podríamos imaginar. Basta repasar la nómina de colaboradores del disco para encontrar, además de los citados y más conocidos David Scott y Duglas T. Steward, a un nutrido grupo de amigos/compañeros de Ally Kerr que contribuirán a llenar de pequeños detalles todas y cada una de este disco que no cambiará la vida a nadie, pero sí se muestra como una grata sorpresa dentro de una escena tan prolífica como la escocesa, lo que en estos días es mucho decir.&#8221;</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8230; d&#8217;un glacier parisien, comme dirait <a href="http://www.oulipo.net/oulipiens/GP" target="_blank">l&#8217;autre</a> !</p>
<p>Profitant de ce que, ces temps-ci, quelque fois, il ferait presque beau et chaud à Paris, j&#8217;ai relancé ma consommation de glaces. Et j&#8217;en ai même profité, avec l&#8217;aide de ma petite famille, pour visiter plusieurs maisons afin de faire des dégustations comparatives : Haagen Dazs place de la Contrescarpe un dimanche après-midi au son de l&#8217;accordéon (faut ce qui faut pour les touristes américains), Berthillon à la terrasse du Flore en l&#8217;Île un jeudi soir vers 23h30 et ce soir-même, Amorino dans le Marais.  Si pour l&#8217;endroit je me laisse facilement tentée par la terrasse de l&#8217;île Saint Louis (mais gare au prix, 9 euros les deux boules tout de même !), il n&#8217;y a pas photo, les meilleures sont celles d&#8217;Amorino, et en plus, on ne paye pas au nombre de parfums mais à la taille du pot, et ça, c&#8217;est royal (au top donc pour le rapport qualité/prix).  Franchement, Haagen Dazs, peuvent aller se rhabiller, eh ouais ! Pour compléter le tableau, il me faudrait faire un petit tour chez Ben &#38; Jerry&#8217;s (hum, <em>Chunky Monkey,</em> parait qu&#8217;il y en a chez Miranda Oberkampf) et chez Nardone, sur les quai de Saône.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://miliochka.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/stracciatella1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-239 aligncenter" src="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/stracciatella1.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="350" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Sinon, ces temps-ci, j&#8217;ai eu de drôles de réaction par rapport à mon blog, des trucs inattendus. L&#8217;une très gentille, du site <a href="http://www.zolimome.com" target="_blank">Zolimôme</a> qui distribue des fringues et doudous de créateurs, et m&#8217;a proposé de mettre dans sa galerie quelques-unes de mes créations pour la Demoiselle (<em>visible <a href="http://www.zolimome.com/theshop/2008/07/les-mamans-on-1.html" target="_blank">ici</a></em>), d&#8217;autres très chouettes aussi, de la copine du Père Noël (ses créations sont <a href="http://www.lelong-lecomte.com/" target="_blank">là</a>) et du copain du <a href="http://www.le-gouter.com/blog/" target="_blank">Goûter</a>, mais aussi une plutôt négative, et là ça m&#8217;a vraiment surprise. C&#8217;est à la fin de ce <a href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/le-second/" target="_blank">post</a><a href="http://miliochka.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/le-second/" target="_blank"></a>. Je ne m&#8217;attendais pas à quelque chose d&#8217;aussi vif, surtout de la part de quelqu&#8217;un qui me connait (et en plus, je ne savais même pas qu&#8217;elle me lisait !) Comme quoi, hein, les blogs, ça mène à tout ! Et d&#8217;ailleurs, en parlant de blogs, terminons sur une note positive, je suis tombée par hasard sur les Gourmandises de Sophie, et j&#8217;ai très très envie de tenter <a href="http://gourmandises-sophie.blogspot.com/2008/06/ma-tarte-aux-fraises.html" target="_blank">sa tarte aux fraises</a>&#8230; À bon entendeur, bonsoir !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>After a whole day at the Louvre on our first day, we decided to head to Notre Dame on Sunday. This was a mistake &#8211; the Sunday mass was in full force and so it was not easy getting into the church and a lot of areas were closed to the public. Even though we had faced the same problem in Austria, we chose to ignore the lesson and paid for it.</p>
<p>Since we could not do much there, we decided to go to a museum called Musee National du Moyen Age (had to go back and search for that name <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). Anyway, this was a neat museum &#8211; pretty different from most of the others we had been to. They even had an old Roman bath which had been built in France.  I had this insane urge to go home and start playing Caesar 3 &#8211; a city building game where you build all different roman buildings. I should search for my game soon <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . There were lots of other interesting historic pieces. We went out to eat in an Indian restaurant called Roi Du Kashmir &#8211; the food was decent but the locality in which the restaurant was located was pretty seedy. After lunch we headed over to Arc De Troimphe &#8211; we climbed all the way to the top. The view from the top was pretty impressive but it was raining and pretty windy. So we did not stay up too long. For dinner I choose this vegetarian restaurant called Les Cinq Saveurs d&#8217;Ananda. My wife was convinced it was an Indian restaurant and was not too happy when all she got was raw veggies and tofu. The tofu there was amazing &#8211; one of the better tofu I have had.</p>
<p>The next day I suggested that we head over the Versailles. After traveling for close to an hour to catch the bus to Versailles, I noticed that the palace was closed on Monday (was browsing Lonely Planet). So we headed back into Paris and decided to cover Notre Dame. We first went to the Ste Chapelle and the Conciergerie which were in the same area. The first was a very interesting chapel &#8211; apparently built to hold all the relics from the Passion which had been purchased by one of the kings of France. They were later moved to Notre Dame but the church was still very nice &#8211; the top floor had no artificial lights and it was built to maximize use of sunlight. The latter was the prison people were held before being sent to the guillotine. There was a replica of the room where Marie Antoinette was kept + lots of other interesting things. After spending a couple of hours there we headed for lunch to this amazing falafel shop called L&#8217;As de Falafel. My wife had a falafel sandwich while I had a falafel platter. It was a nice place to have a cheap lunch and the food was awesome. After a pretty heavy lunch, we headed over to Notre Dame &#8211; I got the audio guide and all that. The church was pretty impressive. I heard that it was the most visited place in Paris. I would have guessed Eiffel tower.  We then climbed up the tower to the top of the cathedral. I badly wanted to see the gargoyles and so I dragged my wife all the way up. We got a picture of most of the gargoyles. At the top of the bell tower, I felt like Quasimodo. I wish I had re-read the book before I went there.</p>
<p>We were pretty tired at the end of it and headed over to an ice-cream shop called Amorino. That was the bribe to get my wife to climb to the top <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Pretty good ice-creams. For dinner we went to this nice Thai place called Reuan Thai. The veggie food was pretty good though a little spicy.</p>

s<br />
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">After reading </span><a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/12/02/travel/02weekend.html"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span lang="EN-GB">Seth Kugel&#8217;s mouth-watering article</span></span></span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> about the best places to find hot chocolate in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">New   York</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">, I felt like doing the same, in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Paris</span>. Not that I want to compare to him, no no, but after all, why not try the idea in the capital of a country well-known for its food?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:85%;">It is easy to find low quality hot chocolate in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Paris</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">, as in any other city: every café serves it, every &#8220;sandwhicherie&#8221; (Pomme de pain, la Croissanterie, la Brioche Dorée etc), and don&#8217;t even mention Starbucks: every time I try their &#8220;signature hot chocolate&#8221;, it&#8217;s not strong enough, and the beverage is lukewarm&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="font-size:85%;">Rather, I&#8217;ll mention 2 places that I like for the quality of their hot chocolate: one is the famous &#8220;salon de thé&#8221; </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/5dc15/18308/2/?o=3"><span lang="EN-GB">Angelina</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> (top picture); the other one is an Italian place, </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.amorino.fr/index.htm"><span lang="EN-GB">Amorino</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> (small picture), specialized in Italian ice creams, truffles, and of course: hot chocolate.<br />
</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Angelina is located on rue de Rivoli, near the place de la Concorde. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Well-established tearoom among tourists and parisians alike, prepare yourself for a queue before you can get your table (I recommend to avoid Sundays, and it is quiet in the morning). The decoration is very 1900&#8217;s, , old ladies come to sip a cup of tea with their friends, tourists try to order in a broken French, and waitresses reply rather impatiently and impolitely: welcome to </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Paris</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">. But let&#8217;s not make a storm in a teacup, and instead, order the highlight of the menu: the hot chocolate &#8220;Africain&#8221;: a pitcher full of a thick, spicy, creamy dark hot chocolate, served with a glass of whipped cream to add at your convenience. Amazing. The first time I tried it I was so surprised that a hot chocolate could be so tasty: it was lunch time, and later I didn&#8217;t have dinner, because I was still full.</span></p>
<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0 21        MicrosoftInternetExplorer4  &#60;![endif]--><!--[if !mso]&#62;--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://tasteofparis.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/amorino.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-89" title="amorino" src="http://tasteofparis.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/amorino.jpg?w=72" alt="" width="72" height="96" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">The second place is part of a chain store called &#8220;Amorino&#8221;, that serves rich Italian ice creams. This winter they also serve hot chocolate for the modest price of 4 euro per cup. They have 28 different flavours to choose from: Classic, Aztèque, Mint, Red berries, Pistachio, Caramel, Pear, Almond, White Chocolate, Coconut, etc&#8230; You choose the flavour that corresponds to a number, the Italian girl at the counter prepares the beverage for you, and here you go! You can drink inside or take it away, as you want. I so far only tasted the Classic hot chocolate and the Aztèque hot chocolate. Both are really strong and we can taste that it is made with very good quality chocolate, without adding sugar or fat etc. My preference goes to the Aztèque chocolate though: the cinnamon and spice after-taste was surprisingly nice.<br />
So, if you want to indulge into an afternoon with your friends (or your grandmother), go to Angelina and order the Africain with some patisseries (try &#8220;Le Mont-Blanc&#8221;. But if during a cold winter afternoon, after a long walk, you feel like having something warm going down your throat, there are plenty of Amorino shops waiting for you in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Paris</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Angelina:</span></strong></span><strong></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> 226 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris. Tel: 01 42 60 82 00.<br />
<strong><span style="font-weight:bold;">Amorino:</span></strong> 22 rue Soufflot (near the Panthéon/Sorbonne), 75005 Paris. Tel: 01 55 42 09 56.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Les cours reprennent, je suis plutôt enthousiaste, et surtout ravie d&#8217;en finir avec la prépa ! Alors, pour reprendre le rythme tranquillement, une petite liste des détails agréables d&#8217;un mardi&#8230; Parce que la <font color="#dc6b4b">dolce vita</font>, c&#8217;est ça :</p>
<p>- Le matin, en partant, il fait presque jour et sur le trajet, je profite du lever du soleil en rêvant,</p>
<p>- Je peux appeler <font color="#dc6b4b">mon amoureux</font> en attendant le RER, et ça suffit à me donner de l&#8217;entrain pour la matinée,</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-92" href="http://dolcevitaparis.com/2008/02/12/les-belle-cose-della-vita/92/" title="dscf3856.jpg"><img src="http://dolcevitaparis.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/dscf3856.jpg" alt="dscf3856.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>- J&#8217;ai deux fois une heure de trou dans la journée, j&#8217;ai le temps d&#8217;aller jusqu&#8217;à Odéon pour me prendre un thé ou de me balader dans le jardin du Luxembourg,</p>
<p>- Je vais commencer un <font color="#dc6b4b">nouveau livre</font>, peut-être <em>The Moonstone</em> de Wilkie Collins&#8230; Ou <em>La République romaine</em>, pour me rafraîchir les idées&#8230;</p>
<p>- Avec un peu de chance, je trouverai le <font color="#dc6b4b">cadeau de Saint-Valentin</font> de mon amoureux&#8230; Au départ, j&#8217;avais une idée très précise, et puis plein d&#8217;autres possibilités sont venues s&#8217;y greffer&#8230; Un cadeau pour lui ? Pour deux ? Pour notre futur chez-nous ? J&#8217;hésite&#8230;</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-93" href="http://dolcevitaparis.com/2008/02/12/les-belle-cose-della-vita/93/" title="dscf3857.jpg"><img src="http://dolcevitaparis.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/dscf3857.jpg" alt="dscf3857.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>-Avec ce soleil, je succomberai peut-être à un petit pot chez <font color="#dc6b4b">Amorino</font>&#8230;</p>
<p>Et toi, quels sont tes petits bonheurs du mardi ?! <font color="#dc6b4b">Voglio sapere tutto !</font></p>
