A Little Taste of Christmas Morning Happiness

27Dec11

I’m a simple girl, really.  Give me a slice of panforte from Tartine and a steaming hot, rich espresso, and I am content.  Christmas morning was quiet.  Simple.  Delicious.

This is my last post with food from Maryland. After this, all my posts will be about and from San Francisco! Isn’t that exciting? I know, I know, you’re probably thinking “About TIME, Jeanne!” I can’t help it. I’m a slacker at heart. It’s how I do. So my last creation on the East Coast […]
