Squid Ink in New York City?
For future reference, the Citarella on 75th and Third has packets for $2.99.
Beignets in New York City?
Also, the Dean and Deluca on Madison and 85th definitely stocks the Cafe du Monde beignet mix.

Beignets in New York City?
They are actually a cinch to make, if you're in a bind and having a craving. It's just choux pastry, fried, and tossed with sugar. Here's my recipe for
Beignets with Lavender Sugar and Apricot Glaze, but powdered sugar will usually sort you out. Enjoy!
Best Lunch in Paris?: Croque Monsieur aux Courgettes from Gérard Mulot
In that case, I have to recommend to you Le Relais de L'Entrecote (aka "Entrecote") on the rue Saint Benoit, just off Blvd. Saint Germain (very close to rue de Seine, so you could snack on the Croque Monsieur before eating your steak!) The best steak-frites in Paris. I always make it a point to stop in. The only thing on the menu is steak frites, and you simply tell them if you want it rare, medium, or well done. Then you get a green salad and baguette and two helpings of steak and perfect frites with their secret green sauce. Tourists and Parisians alike flock there, so get there before 7:30 to avoid the lines. Their house red and profiteroles are a good way to finish it all off!
And of course, you have to go to Laduree, on the rue Bonaparte. The best macarons in the city--I recommend the rose and pistachio very highly. The perfect place for a decadent tea. I'll be writing more about Laduree and macarons today in French Revolution if you want to read more about how to make (and eat!) macarons.
You could also buy a little picnic at Paul, at the corner of rue de Seine and rue de Buci, and be very Parisian and eat it sitting on the pont des arts. Or, you could visit the Champion supermarket next door, and make the Paul sandwiches yourself .
Bon voyage!
Weekend Excursion: Vivent Les Crêpes!
If you are adventurous enough to make your own crepes this week, here is a good basic recipe , along with ways to use them to make Brie Crep-O-Dillas with Avocado Creme Fraiche and Watermelon Tomato Salsa , Crepe Salad Bowls with Bistro Greens, Goat Cheese, and Cassis Vinaigrette , and Crepe Monsieur . Also, Tyler Florence's adapted Crepe Suzette looks genius. And a good place to go for crepes tomorrow is Mon Petit Cafe . Too bad Florent has closed...that was the best Bastille Day in New York. Let them eat crepes!
Favorite Wine Bars in NYC
UVA on the uppereast...easy and good and chic and warm
Photo of the Day: Purple Pepper Eater
i love using purple peppers and purple (red) onions to make monochromatic fajitas...try them!
What to dip my french fries in...
Frite Sauce! It's the best. Just mix mayo with a bit of really good Dijon mustard, and maybe some garlic or lemon zest. It is the French fry's perfect mate. Or for sweet frites, I make a maple Dijon creme fraiche, with Dijon and whole grain mustards, maple syrup, and, of course, creme fraiche. It's like a French-American honey mustard, but better.
Dinner Tonight: Grilled Baguette and Merguez Sandwich
Sorry, the recipe link to the mint creme fraiche: mint creme fraiche
Dinner Tonight: Grilled Baguette and Merguez Sandwich
As an American of half French Moroccan descent, I am so glad you're advocating Merguez! It's amazing! I'm just writing to offer everyone two other possible condiments that I love to serve with it: mint chermoula or, my favorite, mint creme fraiche . It serves as a light, verdant contrast to the spicy sausage.
French picnic food ideas/recipes?
What a coincidence! I just did a French picnic feature for my blog last week. It has recipes for a cold "Soupe au Pistou" Pasta, renovated Pan Bagnat, and watermelon salad with raspberries and rosewater. All great for a picnic...

Tea!
The perfect thing to add to Twining's Earl Grey are flowers. Scoop some into a tea ball and steep along with the Earl for the perfect complement:
add dried edible red rose leaves for Mademoiselle Grey
add dried edible lavender leaves for Duchess Grey de Provence
