Wednesday

We played Jeopardy in our class on evolution and natural history, and it was kind of a joke. Some of the questions were pertinent, but there was a whole category where the answer was the name of our professor's dog, Kiwi. My team came in last both rounds, but we probably had the most fun. I spent the rest of the afternoon writing a report on the Pantheon that I visited Monday, and studying for my French midterm.

The highlight was going to the Grand Epicerie, which is basically a Whole Foods on crack. They have big sections for every category of food: fantastic looking meats, seafoods, cheese, bread, eggs, coffee beans - with their own roaster, tea, a whole wall just for yogurt, chocolate cream desserts, wine, crazy beers, "American" food, and many more incredibly well presented items.

After eating a couple "petit pot de creme chocolat" at home, I had to try out some more chocolate desserts that come in small glass cups/jars. These are some of the most amazing and clever desserts I have had. It is delicious chocolate mousse/pudding in a small glass that can be washed and used as a small wine glass later. I now have 5 assorted jars in my room. I have decided to become an expert in small chocolate pudding desserts, and will now attempt to try and judge a new type every day, since the grand epicerie is just a couple blocks from school.

The organic produce was, in my opinion, overpackaged

They had a container of ready to eat Escargots in a fridge section!!

Cool bike we found on our way to the epicerie
