Heathrow – A Dead Heat I’ll start off by being polite, the employees of British Airways are exceptionally polite, the are the epitome of British. And for airline food I must say it was actually quite more than edible and even tasty (save that attempt at chocolate mousse that tasted like cake icing)…. No more […]
Bon Voyage
May 23, 2007 by
By the time this posts to the site, I’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic on my way to Paris. I freaked out when I saw the weather forecast but TheGayExpat calmed me down with a higher quality forecast and has assured me is will only be passing showers. The temps are going to be a […]
Tick, meet Tock…
May 22, 2007 by
As I sit here and procrastinate (including writing this) the moments go by, and I have yet to pack, yet to manage, yet to organize “Tickets, Money, Passport” as Edwina so succinctly put it in “Absolutely Fabulous” instead, I am reading book reviews, about the book that I am reading, and awaiting the arrival of […]
One Day…
May 22, 2007 by
OMG! One. More. Day. And I leave for Paris, I cannot wait. J’adore Paris, J’Taime Paris!!!! Two years in a row, to be able to go, is just amazing to me, I had always dreamed of going to France, I’ve been fascinated by France for as long as I can remember. I believe I was […]
Anger.
May 21, 2007 by
I am furious with my government. I am disgusted with the lack of oversight, the lack of inspection and livid that the Chinese government thinks they can just send poisonous food into our country. I came across this article in this morning’s paper, and am livid. Illegal pesticides, banned antibiotics, ‘putrefying bacteria’ are amongst the […]
Victory!
May 17, 2007 by
One of the things I love about cooking is learning something new, and sometimes learning just doesn’t come easy, a gap in my skills has always been my inability to make a decent omelette. Now not being good at something and having them consistently fail, over time, I stopped trying. Last night I was hungry, […]
Snot nosed…
May 16, 2007 by
I hate allergy season, hate it with a passion. This year’s seems even more intense and intent on making me miserable, the tree pollens are floating about and I feel like crap. I’m hoping the pollens in Paris are not as bad as last year when I had to take Zyrtec (Humex), Flonase, and actifed, […]
Frustrating!
May 14, 2007 by
It’s the only word to describe my day. The only thing that saved the day was being able to escape for a bit to Bryant Park, pull a chair onto the lawn and read World War Z for a half hour. I love Bryant Park, it’s the best thing about Mid-Town Manhattan, and one of […]
Happy Mother’s Day
May 13, 2007 by
I spent the day with my Mom, and my sisters (both moms themselves). Had fun with everyone, and tormented the nieces and nephews. The teenage ones I live to embarrass. The youngest I love to spoil with gifts and teach them naughty things (Alayna, (5) flipped me off today, with some help from her cousin). […]
Diary of a Foodie
May 12, 2007 by
Aside from being what part of this site is about, “Diary of a Foodie” is also a program on PBS produced by Gourmet Magazine. I’ve set the DVR to catch every episode it finds and I have yet to find one I don’t like but this one, if my favorite so far. Full fat cooking, […]
