Café au lait!

 

Anthropologie has these cute café au lait bowls in different sizes and different colors.

But not for the great price I found the mini ones at Homegoods for, or the great price I found the larger ones at Bed, Bath and Beyond for…especially with the $5 off coupon that comes in their mailer.

I plan to use them for ice cream bowls…the mini ones will be perfect for one scoop…

the larger ones are big enough for a cup of soup or a small salad or two or three scoops of ice cream!

But on a recent Friday, which is usually the Hubs day off and our date day, he had a meeting. 

So, home alone, I suddenly thought, why not?

Café au lait! 

Then I went online and priced how much a trip to France really costs.

(Hey, a girl can dream can’t she?)

That is my simple pleasure this week…café au lait, (and dreaming).

    I still remember my cafe au lait with croissants in Paris so fondly. I wish I could live that morning over on demand. Do it do it do it. It is Soooo worth it.

    To us is cafe con leche. And it was our favorite drink when growing up.

    My grandparents drank cafe au lait every morning and so did I when I stayed with them.

    There is a French restaurant here that serves their cafe au laits in just the same manner ... a bowl rather than a cup with a handle. My husband has been to France on business several times but I haven't made it there yet. One day ... Best wishes to you, Tammy

    Love this! I would love a trip to Paris, but not sure I could ever get The Man to travel that far. In the meantime, we have our substitutes, huh?
