And some sweets, of course!
First day in Paris (Oct 2024) and already looking to update my favorite vintage images of boulangeries ("artisinal!") and pâtisseries.
And oui, there are some healthier sweets to be easily had, too.
More to come... now sifting through many new images and this is only a small sample of Day 1 ("7000 steps!") :))

Speaking of sugar and spice....
Some (non-caloric) visual treats on a calm, clear evening in Amsterdam.

But the selection here were all tastes she wouldn't like like pistachio, pomegranate, mixed nuts with apricot and rosewater!
She ended going for rosewater which I was sure she wouldn't like. And after a bite, she stopped because unlike those from Iran, these have a very very strong aroma of rosewater that I of course love.now, I am sitting with a whole bag of temptation sugar bombs that I can't stop eating and she still hasn't gotten her craving taken care of.

Sweets change our brain
Why we can't keep our hands off chocolate bars and co.
March 22, 2023
Chocolate bars, crisps and fries - why can't we just ignore them in the supermarket? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Cologne, in collaboration with Yale University, have now shown that foods with a high fat and sugar content change our brain: If we regularly eat even small amounts of them, the brain learns to consume precisely these foods in the future...

Made some Iranian Halva balls and covered them with dark chocolate and almonds. Hard to control myself from eating the whole thing.
The sweets are usually cooked on aniversary of the loss of a loved one and have a sad association with it. But I make them whenever I'm happy to remind me of all the good things I learned from my mother during her visits in Sweden (I was too arrogant and busy learning anything from her whole living back in Iran).
It is not something for weight counciense person. It is sweet, buttery and the way I made it, round balls covered with dark chocolate and almonds.
It's a bit time consuming to make, because you have to store the flour by hand for about 10 to 15 minutes and add the butter and cooking oil to it while making sure it doesn't turn into lumps and later ass the syrup in slow steps, something that I learned the hard way (as always with me) because the mix of flour and oil gets really hot and adding the syrups generates a lot of hot steam anx possible splashes of hot sticky syrup all over the kitchen.
This video is one of the good ones.

Just make sure, the longer you keep the flour before adding the oils, the darker the color of the Halva gets.
🇦🇹 Einen wunderschönen, herbstlichen Nachmittag! 🍂🍐🍁🍐🍂🍐🍁Ich weiß ja nicht wie es euch geht, aber ich finde ja, dass die Herbstzeit nicht nur Apfelzeit ist, sondern Birnen ein genauso tolles herbstliches Obst sind. Deswegen spielen sie in meinem neuen Rezept gleich die Hauptrolle. 💪🏽☺
🍂🍐🍁🍐🍂🍐🍁
Wer von euch mag die auch so? 😋
