Crazy non-stop action…
May 28, 2008 by Leave a Comment
I’ve been unable to post since arriving in Paris, because we have been going non-stop. So far I’ve taken close to 1,000 photos, all of which require some amount of editing before I get them up. I’m about to head out the door again for the evening, then tomorrow is Bruges. Here are a couple […]

By the time this posts we’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic. The French being such kind and wonderful people have planned a general strike of the Bus & Rail services for our arrival.

So, I’ve been very, very quiet. I know this. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, I have. I just haven’t taken time to write up what I’ve been up to. I made a lasagna for Mother’s Day, which I intend to share the recipe for, I just have to make it again and write […]

The other day at the store I noticed they had some ground lamb and decided to grab some, figuring I’d make a burger of some sort. I let the idea bubble in my head as I went through the store and decided I would most definitely want some slices of roasted lemon to go with […]

It’s finally arrived where I live, temps are ranging from the mid 50’s to mid 70’s and everything is blooming! Normally this would also mean that I’m stocking up on Flonase, Zyrtec and a handful of other drugs to combat my allergies to all things green and blooming (and also all pollutants and cats). Last […]

My friend Jill pointed out this morning that due to my last name any toast I make is French toast, so we’re subtitling this recipe “Frenchy French Toast!” Jill also claims to have told me about putting orange juice in the batter over a year ago, this may well be true, but I had never […]

Public Shaming…

The above photo is the embarrassing stack of unread magazines that I need to go through. Months worth in fact. The purpose of this post is to publically shame myself into getting this done. I subscribe to these for inspiration, for new ideas and for food, obviously. So, tomorrow I’ll be in a car for […]
