I’ve always been a big fan of the British Techno band Sunscreem. From their first single “Love U More” from the album “O3” through numerous remixes, over several albums “Change or Die,” “New Dark Times,” and several compilations “Looking At You – The Club Anthems” “Ten Mile Bank”, “Out of the Woods”, and sporadic singles […]

I dream rather vividly, sometimes more so than reality. It’s like everything is AMPED AND WIRED. Every sight, every sound, every moment, beyond high definition. It can be rather disquieting sometimes, nightmares are so terrifying that I’ve been known to let out a blood curdling scream in my sleep. My ex Rob would have to […]
Picture This…

So… Back in June I went to see Blondie perform at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square NYC. During the show I snuck out my camera and snapped a few photos which was against the rules, but I did it anyway. I personally know that Debbie doesn’t mind photos, she minds the damn flashbulbs, but […]

The news is all atwitter the last 24 hours about the late Julia Child’s time in the OSS. It’s not been a secret for a long time that she worked in the OSS in a clerical role, it was long suspected that she was more than a secretary, and the CIA even admitted as much […]

Dear John Chow, I think it’s great that you’re having this contest, and while I would personally love to go I probably can’t get the time off, but I’m entering your contest anyway, and if you choose my entry I’m giving it to Merlene Paynter of Frugalous.com. Why Merlene? Because she’s an awesome person, I […]

So, you may have noticed, I haven’t exactly posted in a while… There’s a bunch of reasons, some good, some lazy, and some… well life has this way of throwing curve balls at you… I’m working on a number of ideas, none of which are related to the focus of my personal weblog… CharlesFrench.com was […]
Crazy non-stop action…

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 […]
Quiet Time – The calm before the storm
May 18, 2008 by Leave a Comment
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 […]
Lamb burger with roasted lemon and Tzatziki
April 13, 2008 by Leave a Comment
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 […]
Spring…

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 […]
