During the month of January you will see lots of crown-sporting cakes called galette des rois in the boulangerie windows in France.
And the reason behind all these blue-blooded cakes? Because for the epiphany, January 6, the French eat king cake to honor the kings who came bearing gifts for Jesus 12 days after his birth.
Though Zoe and I had already visited Disneyland Studios, we had still missed the best part of Disneyland Paris – Disneyland Park.
Disneyland Park, the larger of the two parks, is essentially divided into five sections: Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland and Discoveryland.
When my employers offered to let me take Zoe, their youngest daughter, to Eurodisney for the day, I jumped at the chance. Because… Disneyland!

When I read via Twitter that La Cuisine would be hosting a book signing for my favorite cookbook author, I immediately RSVPed for the event. I didn’t care if I had to quit my job; I was going to be meeting David Lebovitz.
