It's The Month To Give Thanks

November is the month we give thanks.

Today I'm going to give thanks for the new restaurant just across the street!

Once, a restaurant named FRED'S was located in the space.

FRED'S was in this location long before we moved into our house.
It was a neighborhood hang out.

They served Italian food.

Then Fred died, his family took over for awhile,
but ended up selling to folks who

 didn't pay their rent and the space went empty.

It's now ECLAIR PARIS, FRENCH BISTRO AND PATISSERE.
They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The interior is very different from the past.

Light and Bright.

So far, I've only been there for breakfast and 

the Eggs Benedict are yummy!

I met a friend for breakfast and she tried the Avocado Toast.
Another vote for YUMMY!

Then there are the pastries!
Oh, my! 

I have tried the Chocolate Croissant and the apricot tart.
YUM!

I'm going to have to watch how many times I visit ECLAIR.
Too many times and I might not be able to fit through the door!

I've also noticed that the employees are recognizing me.
They are telling me what their favorite menu items are.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

My World: Sweet Paris

I promised myself if the *cool* front arrived and the lows were in the 60s,

I would walk into the village on Sunday and have crepes for breakfast.

And I did!

This is Sweet Paris

a creperie and cafe where

they are reviving the art of eating crepes

and no passport is needed!

I arrived early so I could take pictures without bothering other patrons.

By the time I was finished with my crepe and had read a chapter in my book,

Sweet Paris was filling up quickly.

It is very bright and cheerful with French music playing in the background.

They call the decor French Industrial Chic.

Love the chandeliers.

The mirror makes this small cafe feel larger.

This is THE FEAST:

two eggs scrambled, feta, ricotta and mozzarella, tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms.

It was delicious.

They have breakfast crepes, sweet crepes and savory crepes.

If I have a quibble -- they don't serve hot tea. 

Sweet Paris makes a promise:

For each crepe purchased, they will donate one school meal to a child in need through the U.N. World Food Programme USA.

"Eat Here, Feed There"

Thank you to the hosts of OUR WORLD.

Wishing you well and much joy!

We can't spend all our time in Hermann Park
or the museum district.
Eventually we have to eat!
I'd like to take you for a midday meal at one of our favorite places.
It's not too far from the museums.

This is Baba Yega located in the Montrose area of Houston.
Two older houses put together to make this restaurant.
Simple fare for vegetarians or carnivores.

We got there early to take a few photos.
It fills up fast.

But the real reason we love Baba Yega's is the garden.
We try to get a table on the enclosed porch so that we can
hear the waterfall.

There are koi in the pond.

There's a waterfall and several fountains.

This looks back to the covered porch.
A very popular place!

There are small sculptures hidden in the garden.
This funny little pig is one of my favorites.

I hope you enjoyed your midday tour!
