my favorite person in all of this glorious city...

...is my cheese monger. this woman rocks my world. every saturday, i return to the little market the takes up two blocks of boulevard de la villette, and i head to one particular stand to get my cheese and eggs for the week. now friends, i eat a TON of cheese every week. (and no, i do not weight 500 pounds.) i return there every saturday morning with the previous week's empty egg container. i get my dix oeufs and a couple different kinds of cheese. this week it was emmenthal, port salut (only the best cheese on the face of this earth, you could smother hitler in it and i would like it off), and something called tomme de niege...a soft cheese, similar to port salut. but the main reason i visit is not the cheese, albeit the cheese is amazing. i go for the ladies who work there. one woman is probably in her 50s, but just so full of energy and so bubbly. the other is younger, perhaps late 20s, both equally as darling. these girls are just so happy to see me every week, as they are to every other customer who returns to share their love for happiness and good cheeses. i think that i could be in the crappiest mood and these two gals would cheer me up. every week i get a big smile and a 'bonjour madame, ca va?' and then they are just excited to cut me the amounts of cheeses that i want. 'is this enough port salut?' they ask, so delicately, in french, always to be returned by, 'a little more, please!'

i walked home with the biggest smile on my face. these girls rock my world.

i did not buy actual healthy food at the market today. i dont go to my guy anymore. after he began trying to make out with me two weeks ago, i opted to forgo his discounts and freebies and pay more elsewhere. i got to the market a bit later today, and it was quite busy and i didn't feel like dealing with a crowd to develop a relationship with a new produce vendor.

eric, you are the only produce guy in the world for me!

and now i am off, in search of christmas gifts.
