What is this delicious-looking dessert? It’s a profiterole! Coming in several varieties, profiteroles are made up of choux paste, baked into small round puffs, then filled with some type of cream. In this case, it involves ice cream served with chocolate sauce, dusted with powdered sugar. Can you say “Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!”?
If this picture has your mouth watering, and you live in the Seattle area, then you might want to come down and treat yourself to this dessert at La Cote Creperie.
And, while you’re at it, get out your calendar and mark down JULY 10 for the BASTILLE DAY CELEBRATION at La Cote. In addition to their regular menu, they’ll be serving up some Merguez (lamb sausage) sandwiches with homemade Harissa outside from a tent, where a DJ will keep you entertained and the Kronenbourg 1664 (a delicious French beer dating from 1664) will be beheaded!
In the immortal words of Marie Antoinette: “If there’s no bread, let them eat cake!”
Adventure on, and “Off with their heads!”

Have you caught it yet?
It’s called the world’s “beautiful game”, and is watched by millions, especially during the World Cup. Lucky for us, team USA! USA! USA! has landed at the top of their Group, and made it through to the Round of 16, where countries will now face single elimination.
Make sure you watch it this weekend, and I guarantee you will catch the fever!
In fact, I think a lot of people will be calling into work with the “sick” bug in the next few weeks, while they stay home to cheer on their team!
This weekend’s schedule (check ESPN for local times):
SAT JUN 26
Uruguay v Korea
USA v Ghana
SUN JUN 27
Germany v England
Argentina v Mexico
With powerhouses such as last World Cup finalists France and Italy already sent home, this tournament promises some exciting match ups and a new winner.
Adventure on, and “Viva la futbol!”

And the winner is…
Meg O’Brien, from New York City, for her beautiful picture of a camel near the ocean in Mombassa, Kenya, entitled “Ship of the Desert”.
It was a real battle of two camels, as well as a nomad looking for a camel in this competition! You can check out all the beautiful entries, as well as the comments here.
Meg wins a PacSafe camera bag!
