Torture Délicieuse
A Paris-dwelling American friend of mine subscribes to a pâtisseries email list. Surprisingly, she still looks like a woman with a nice little waistline, and not Elsie the Cow. Here's one from today's email: 
In case you happen to be in Paris, hop on over to the 17th arrondissement for one of these.
Chocolatier Charpentier - Didier Fourreau
87 rue de Courcelles
75017 Paris
01 47 63 93 05
Métro Courcelles
Fermé le dimanche (that means closed on Sundays)
Yum! I'd probably have to borrow money to buy it, though.

It looks delicious. I wish I could eat.
Yet, I am confused this is posted in your site Amy. With all the talk about low carb and that. This is not normal.
What next posting about benefits of religion. A government program that should be actually funded with taxpayer money..
.....
hrnnngggg
.... sorry have to go need to avoid the food porn.

I suggest eating fabulous desserts only, very occasionally.
Just think of me as the Larry Flynt of food porn.

My idea of food porn is a really good salsa and homemade torilla chips... too much salt though.
Not that that's a bad thing, Amy.
PS- I saw a cartoon the other day of an 80'ish year old man on the examining table, and the doctor saying something like "so are you enjoying those extra 20 years your healthy lifestyle have granted you?"

just returned from Paris - years ago my husband brought me a box of chocolates from this shop, and I NEEDED to visit this shop. The most delicious chocolates I have ever tasted. Sinful chocolate macaroons. Not a bit of English spoken here, so we just pointed and used the few words we know. "Tres Bon!" The lovely chocolate lady sent us both on our way with a treat she chose for us. yum.
