I’m 20… in my glass!
All French boys and girls who had lunch at the school cafeteria (cantine) in elementary school played this game.
Duralex glasses were so sturdy, almost unbreakable that they could be found in every cantine. On the bottom of our Gigogne Duralex glasses were engraved numbers (a serial number between one and 50). It was supposed to be our age. There was no real point, it was just simple entertainment while waiting for our food and a reason to laugh at each others. Who was the “Baby”?
This old style glass is now very trendy in restaurants and stores. You can find the Picardie Duralex or the Gigogne Duralex almost everywhere.
The other day, I had lunch at London Plane and… Happy me, I was 20 in my glass. I felt so well for the rest of the day!
Parfait Ice Cream small batch from scratch
It feels like Spring today in Seattle. It is time for Ice cream! Especially when they are Organic, completely made from scratch in the room behind the counter, with mostly local ingredients, and last but not least when they are delicious!
Parfait Ice Cream started as a truck that you may have seen on different Farmers Markets. They will, for sure, be at the Queen Anne Farmers Market this summer (This market starts in June and is every Thursday night from 3-7:30pm). They are still finalizing their other regular locations for the summer season.
I have not try the Macaron Ice Cream I need to return.
What is your favorite place for ice cream?
