Madame a Trois.

As promised here is the Madame a Trois blog......

So....we're under the jewel that is Maison Bertaux, with the finest cream cakes, croissants and pastries in all of London town! What makes a cake? Why, a cup of tea! A drink's too wet without one don't they say? So it follows that we are fans of the teaset, especially if it's mismatched crockery trios. If you're stuck for the perfect gift we say a pretty trio (teacup, saucer and cake plate), packed in a cake box to go, with a bow on top for £29 will please most ladies.....especially those who we've come to love as "our" ladies!



Gift probs over!!!

BIRTHDAY CAKE - WE ATE IT

I dropped in on Pippa today. I can't wait to see the video she was working on with the latest A.P.C. and Sonia buying expeditions featured! I went in and grabbed some coffee and a banana eclair [cut into two very exact sized pieces] while Johan was presenting me with a fake bottle of Lanson Champagne in Maison Bertaux. I could just sit and look at all the cakes all day.

Over in the States Rick Ross also loves cake and an entourage of other rappers there too:

Maybe they should jump on a jet with all that money they say they have and visit Pippa and I in Maison B and let us feed them some cakes from upstairs. Though maybe they mean money, or cocaine, or chilling with their girlfriends instead of chillin wit their boys*.

I mean here is the chorus** by Flo Rida [gettit? Flow Rider in Florida?!]:
I could spend a hundred thousand in a day,
Getting cake er day (er day), er day (er day),
Comin through yo hood in that 7 tre,
Getting cake er day (er day), er day (er day),
I told ya'll, I don't want no cake on my birthday,
I want my cake er day (maan), er day (maan),
I could spend a hundred thousand in a day,
Getting cake er day (er day), er day (er day)

Some of them are big guys. This could be from eating a lot of cake?! Does anyone else feel me on this?

I started a Flickr group recently to liberate all of you who were wanting to take picture of your food but were too scared cause you thought I was gonna hate on your for peepin' my steelo. But NO! Check out WE ATE IT! Then ask to join the group and start submitting your pictures! Already some friends have tracked each other down by accident - Ina Featherbed from New York joined the group and then realised that ..Philippa.. in London was a pal of hers and they are back in touch. Cool or what?

Here is a selection of WE ATE IT pics to whet your appetite!





Okay so that is all for now, let's hope Pippa's video gets online soon!

G'DAY G'DAY

I haven't post on here for so long, I feel almost a little bit shy...

Well that moment passed quite quickly, let me tell you were I have been!


Christmas in Australia.
I went home to visit my family and here is the view on my sister's street as all the neighbourhood kids hang out in their PJ's waiting for Santa to come along in a fire truck and hand out sweets. And yep - that is the bush at the end of the street.


I occupied myself with helping Mum in her garden, then convering her house with Christmas lights. Then when we went up to Launceston, I encouraged my brother in law to do the same. Quite a successful effort I would say but a challenge to get the lights up in one day when it is 30 degrees and there is a hot wind whipping your hair into your face.


I also had my THIRD birthday party in Tasmania for the year! Woo hoo!! Check out the cake mum made me with R Kelly and Myself together as we should be. You can't really see but around the edges are gold dollars. I told mum it also needed to have icing dope leaves all over it to be for a true playa like me, but she said the kids could eat that so that is why she has the piped green round the edges like that. Chronic.


There were other delicious treats to be had from the Jackman and McRoss Bakery where I always want to visit first off when I get home. And of course it is a main occupation to check out cakes at any establishment... No banana eclairs mind you. Maison Bertaux still tops the world with those!!!

More Jackman and McRoss delicious delicious things. Underneath the salmon is scrambled eggs. I know Pippa won't like either of these but never mind.

The best part of going home for Christmas had to be hanging out with my Neice and Nephews.

Here is my nephew Sam. I swear I didn't teach him how to do that!! He was throwing signs as soon as I saw him. What a pimp. He is going to make a great Bogan when he grows up!!

Anyway hopefully after my tiles get delivered today [it's a long story] I am going to head into town and catch up with Madame, see what is on sale at Maison B - WOO HOO - and give Pippa the present I bought her when I was at home. I hope she likes it - I definitely do... I'm not sure if it belonged to a dead lady though which is often the most attractive feature for Pippa! It really made me laugh to see her dead on the stairs is Sarah Lee's pictures on Pippa's birthday.
