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 […]
Sunset Walks At The Louvre
Look out Paris, here we come…
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. We are honoured that they would take this occasion to honor us with our first French Labor Strike. We greatly look forward […]
Quiet Time – The calm before the storm
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 […]

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 […]
