This is very intriguing. Rosemary, i also heard that french women hate it when a man says “vous avez des beau sourire” (you have a lovely smile) . guess it is equivalent to “you are a nice person, but i dont find you sexy enough to fall in love with you”… 🙂

Well, I didn’t know about that. I can remember the first time a French man said “Tu as de beaux yeux”. It seemed such a cheesy line!
Merci, Rosemary ~ I think I’ve got it:
J’aime bien le chocolat, j’adore les cannoli, le voyage est ma grande passion, et mon mari c’est l’homme de ma vie!

Spot on! That’s exactly right. (One minor correction, we’d say “voyager est ma grande passion” using the infinitive).
Ah, Rosemary, I should probably unsubscribe from your culinary posts because I’m getting fat just by reading them and looking at your photos …
Anda, this was a very little cake and wouldn’t do much damage.
Love it! J’adore ton blog Rosemary! (And that cake does look devine…)
Merci Phoebe! And the cake was devine …
