On the soft edge – Instant pizza sandwich

On the soft edge – Instant pizza sandwich

At times – when we’re too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep – only a slice of soggy pizza will do. And the microwave becomes our best friend as we’re heating the fat edge from a store-bought pizza until the mozzarella starts to bubble.

I love you like chocolate cake

I love you like chocolate cake

I wake up to darkness, sleepy faces, and cold winds. I go home to darkness, empty streets, and many thoughts.

In between, there is flour. And sugar.

Street lights happen to be just like moments – Doughnuts à la vanille

Street lights happen to be just like moments – Doughnuts à la vanille

[Vanilla doughnuts]

It’s been raining a lot these days.

And the night has been falling late in the morning; leaving very few hours for the light to turn from golden to blue.

Demain, déjà

Demain, déjà

[Tomorrow, already]

Today, the city woke up as I was slowly falling asleep after a night made of flour, butter and water. Through the cab window, it felt like the time had stopped.

I’ve been locked inside your heart-shaped box – Des pretzels au chocolat

I’ve been locked inside your heart-shaped box – Des pretzels au chocolat

[Chocolate-covered pretzel]

Many people will tell you that tempering chocolate is easy. Well, I’m afraid I don’t agree.

The theory is easy. The practical side of it? Not so much.

It’s messy.

A six heures, ce matin

A six heures, ce matin

[Six o'clock in the morning]

This morning, too early for people to be awake and too late for party-bunnies to be asleep, the pavement seemed covered in snow.

Glitters, cigarette ends and confetti that would shine to the subtle glow offered by lamp poles.
