I have been so fortunate in my life so far. A few years ago I had the opportunity to spend 3 full months in Paris. It is one of my favorite cities in the world. There is so much to do and see. The culture, the food, the fashion, the architecture, the history, the people, I just couldn’t get enough. Everyday was an adventure. Everywhere you look you can find interesting and beautiful things. My Dog Bentley is also incredibly fortunate. He also got to come to Paris. Lucky dog!

Speaking of dogs, check out this huge dog having dinner with his owner and this nice bistro! You’d never see this in North America! The funny thing is they allow huge dogs like this one in restaurants, but there are so many restrictions for dogs in the parks? Not sure how that works.

My assistant Sarah came too! We had to have some escargot and champaign of course. What’s your take on escargot? Love it or hate it? You can comment below.

I had a kitchen, so I did cook… a bit, but there were so many amazing restaurants to go to, I didn’t stay in and cook all that much. There was a restaurant around the corner from our apartment that I would go to a few time/week because it was so good. This salad was so colorful and fresh I had to take a photo of it. I recreated the recipe for it here. I hope you like it! Rainbow Seafood Salad

We had dinner at Guy Savoie one night while we were there. Have you ever seen a wine list bigger than this? If you ever want to experience fine dining at it’s best, I would highly recommend going here or Joel Robuchon in Vegas.

Being there for 3 months, I had some visitors. Here’s one of my besties, Novalena J. Betancourt walking along the Seine River. We had so much fun during her visit exploring Paris. I also go some fashion shopping like bags, fashion dresses, fancy veils.

On one of our walks we spotted this. Another thing you don’t see in North America too often. 5 guys crammed into one tiny car. Love it.

Paris has incredible Flea Markets. This one was one of the biggest just outside of the city. The area felt a bit sketchy when you got off of the underground, but once you got to the flea market it was fine.

Kind of morbid but kind of cool at the same time, I thought this knife rack was different.

No Trip to paris would be complete without taking in some of the man amazing art galleries. In the next photo the children are being taught that the man who posed for this bust came up to Rodin’s house looking for food. Since Rodin didn’t have much money at the time he asked if this man would pose for him in exchange for food.

One of the best days I spent in Paris was with some other friends at this Jazz Fest. It was a beautiful day. We packed a classic picnic and headed out the last stop on the train. Good friends, good food, good music, and sun, what more could you ask for? Aaaaah Paris Life!

Singapore Sling – Original Recipe

When I went to Singapore I had to go to the Raffles Hotel, where the Singapore Sling was invented. According to Wikipidia, “this long drink was developed sometime before 1915[1] by Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel, Singapore. It was initially called the gin sling,[2] – a sling was originally an American drink composed of spirit and water, sweetened and flavored.”  Get the Singapore Sling – Original Recipe Here!

When I wrote about the ZamZam I had in Singapore I had to mention that I tasted this drink as well and naturally, I thought I’d include the recipe for you here. It may be a big hit at your next summer party!
