It was quite delicous! They also had this on the menu, which I was tempted to try if only because I know my Mom would have gotten a huge kick out of it:
That's right, Le Dude Lebowski.
On Sunday I went for a walk along one of the two rivers. I was going to refer to it as "the muddy one," but I looked up the name and it's actually called L'Arve. There is a point where L'Arve meets the Rhone and things get mixed up and look pretty, but I was getting tired after walking around and stopping and walking, plus it was raining, so I decided to head back home. Alas, I looked at a map and I was nearly at the junction! Next time. Here are some photos from my walk (see more on my Flickr if you would like) :
Also on my walk I picked up a croissant and some macarons. They weren't the best macarons, but I saw them as soon as I walked in to the bakery and I knew I could order them in French so I did.
When I got home I ate my croissant with some sour cherry jam and a nectarine on the side. I had intended on saving the macarons, or just tasting one, but I ate them all while reading a copy of "Heat" magazine. Then I had a nap! J'taime dimanche!
After a FOUR HOUR NAP I woke up...hungry! So I made myself a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese and a salad on the side.
Today I worked, so I had lunch at one of the cafeterias around. I had a large salad, which was satisfying but by the time I got home I knew that I wanted something somewhat hearty and filling so I made black beans and fried plantains.
And my latest, and very exciting, discovery is that there is a Saint Bernard living in one of the shops downstairs! I saw him this morning when I was leaving the apartment. I could see him through the window just lounging around. To my pleasant surprise he was sitting outside when I got home! I didn't say anything to him, but I took his picture. I will ask my roommate what he knows about this dog so perhaps next time I can say "Bonsoir, chien!"
On my way home from work I listened to Sparks...It has been a pretty good couple of days.

heya brie, the St. Bernard's name is Pupé (when I said you had landed in our hood I was not kidding ;) ... and remind me to hook you up with the best macaroon dealer in geneva next time we meet
so nice to see pictures of Geneva today; glad to read you & Justin & Ana are hanging out; salut!
oh, so good to see all these pictures! I also highly recommend the german version of macarons, known as luxemburgli, which you can find at Sprüngli. they are tiny and cute and delicious.
I want German macarons! Also, of course you ate all the macarons. They are not for saving.
Thanks for the comments, peeps! Keep 'em coming. I'm hoping at some point to purchase a few baked goods and do a sampling (with PHOTOS OF COURSE). I look forward to Justin hooking me up with the macaron dealer and eating luxemburgli when Ayesha visits (right?).
