Now my Honey Brown Sugar instincts
kicked in because it hit me I need to start writing more about the things I
love, and of course this city. I can’t deny how much I love food and New York
(I told you I was born here) So yes you will hear more about my experiences as
well in the city. Yes I love to eat, but I try to eat a lot more healthier now
within my twenties. I do discriminate meat sorry I am not a vegetarian I have
to have a good steak and lobster sometimes!
I have always had a really good
regimen of food, I learned early though to maintain eating healthy but it’s all
right to indulge. I also learned at a very early age maybe five probably about
all different types of food, cultures, and embracing all backgrounds. One of
those cultures I learned early was French actually. I was about ten years old and I saw this movie called “The
Josephine Baker Story”. Now I actually saw the movie when I was very little,
but I saw it when I was older and was engulfed by this woman, this exotic
African American woman who has such a beautiful, unique, powerful story.
I
was given a choice in my fifth grade class to discuss one of my heroes, this
was perfect timing, I chose Freda Josephine McDougal aka Josephine Baker. I had
gained this powerful obsession, and love for France! I am glad I did because I
really do love Europe, traveling all different cultures, and learning about all
backgrounds actually. It used to make me just dream one day I would go. My
mother went, four of my very close friends have gone, any many others. I became
so in love with this powerful, beautiful city, and I still am. I have been to
Europe, but I visited Geneva, Switzerland briefly to travel on the train to
Milan, then stayed in Florence, Italy for a month and two weeks, visited Pisa, Lucca, and lastly Rome. I
so badly wanted to go to France. I still long for it and believe I am getting
closer to my dream. I think it’s going to happen very soon and I will be able
to go possibly with either my close friends, maybe my mom, the man I care for and love as well which
would be even sweeter. I would
want to stay for at least a month. I have so many places to visit, foods to
try, things to see. It would really be a complete dream come true. I believe it
will happen, everything is timing truly, but it’s a matter of one knowing where
to go, getting there, having the funds, and being 100 percent ready. I think
being an adult and having the means to get out there would be the best of
having everything ready so my dream would come true. This trip will mean so
much to me more than just 1 reason. Just to be able to
be there and to travel. To know I followed my dream and I didn’t give up
would be perfect.
So
let this Francophile tell you the restaurant I saw the other day was a French bakery
called Maison Kayser they have several locations one in lower Manhattan,
midtown Manhattan, and uptown as well on upper East Side. It made me realize
when I walked in there yes I found a bakery I am going to love. I heard Billie
Holiday singing on the speakers playing, I saw the cold salads, sandwiches
being chilled everything looked delicious, from the pasta, the sandwiches, the
pastries, all beautifully prepared. I will be back for sure. I decided to
really indulge in my passions, so I bought a vanilla éclair, I have been
craving them for some reason I haven’t had one in so long. I also bought a
Pavlova dessert it’s gorgeous, decadent, and delicious trust me. You feel like
you’re in fruit and crème paradise completely. I cannot wait I am excited to try, indulge, and taste more
of these beautiful, delicious treats provided by Eric Kayser the creator of
this beautiful restaurant, and the chef who prepared these delicious treats as
well. A true artist, and I know I will enjoy this completely. I am going to
have a ball visiting the restaurant, and many others. I also found a place called
Éclair Bakery located in midtown Manhattan I will visit as well. I am excited
because it’s so important for me to keep on finding more before I get to visit
the “City of Lights”. I am extremely excited and know it will happen very soon.
Stay tuned my readers love you thanks for continuing to rock with me. More to
discuss always =) Visit http://www.maison-kayser,com/m/en for more information.
