Today is a very special day at the Delphine studio. It is "The" Delphine's birthday! Mémé (grandma) Delphine and the entire family are celebrating all day, with whipped cream in our coffee, cookies with our petit snack, afternoon chocolate, a little more chocolate, and a little more chocolate before a fabulous French dinner at home. Followed by chocolate eclairs, and some more chocolate.

In honor of Delphine's special birthday, we are having a one day only sale -- our biggest of the year -- fifty percent off anything from the Cards & Gifts section of our Delphine website. Enter code: THEDELPHINE during checkout. Offer expires at midnight tonight.

Throughout the week, we'll post snippits of wisdom from Delphine, as well as some fun facts about her.

Fact #1: Delphine is the best cook in the house. She insists that she cooks "peasant food," but if that is the case, I am thrilled to be a peasant. Some of my favorite dishes she makes include minestra, crepes, apple tart, omelettes (the PERFECT omelette; I like only her omelettes), pasta fagioli, green beans and potatoes, and fish cakes.
