Re: Snowy Days and Hot Soup (Dorie Greenspan)

I enjoy reading Dorie Greenspan’s blog for two reasons: She’s a great cook, and she often writes in a quite down-to-earth way about her Paris neighborhood (in the 6th arrondissement). During our pilgrimage to France in September 2009, we stayed just on the easternmost edge of the 6th (on the Boulevard Saint Michel) in two different hotels. So the neighborhood and the places she describes feel very familiar to us.

This entry is about snow in Paris, a walk to the Marché Saint-Germain market and back home around the Luxembourg Gardens, and a favorite vegetable soup. Both the market and the gardens were on our itinerary during our days in Paris, and her blog entry helps keep the memories alive.
