Dinner

Typical Tuesday

March 9, 2010

Today I decided to keep my camera in my hand for pretty much the whole day to take you along for the day. Well, not so typical. I’ve mentioned before that we are in the midst of a two week intensive module course about global communication and advertising. The days have been long and there [...]

A Case of the Perpetual Sundays

March 7, 2010

First off – Thank you for your honest and encouraging comments on my post about the ideal size and slenderness last Friday. It’s quite amazing how many people share some of the same thoughts, and I appreciate everyone opening up. I’m certainly going to read through those comments when I need a lift
 
I spent [...]

Food and Yoga; My two favorite things.

February 26, 2010

Last night my roommate and I ventured out to have dinner at a restaurant suggested to us by several of our friends called Le Cambodge. We left early partly because we heard that quite the line can build up at this restaurant before it opens and partly because it was a beautiful evening and we [...]

Et Voila! Soup!

February 24, 2010

I woke up yesterday morning with that dreaded “tickle” in the back of my throat. You know the one – It’s subtle, but it’s never a good sign of good things to come. After cursing the sick people roaming around Paris spreading their germs I headed straight to the kitchen to chug some Vitamin C, [...]

The Olive Man, and other tales from the weekend.

February 21, 2010

I was so excited to share my day with you yesterday. I had spent my morning wandering through Marché Saxe-Breteuil, one that is quickly becoming my favorite in Paris. Every time I go, I drool over the amazing produce and prepared foods, and especially this one stand in particular. They sell olives and other Mediterranean [...]

Around the World…

February 12, 2010

Recently in class we read an excerpt from Lucy Long’s Culinary Tourism. The concept is simple really…people intentionally go to restaurants to experience another culture, another way of life, with food as the medium. It seems so obvious, yes? But I have never really walked into an “ethnic-to-me” restaurant with the awareness that I’m going [...]

“Me-moment”

February 8, 2010

It’s the beginning of week 7 here in Paris and I just can’t believe it. It’s a big week at school – midterms, papers, readings, museum visits. The works. I’m savoring all the little “me-moments” I can get!

Is that selfish? Well….good.
 
Let’s see. “Me-moment” number one. Chocolate. Did you know that it’s a vegetable? [...]

I’m taking a class this semester called An Appetite for Paris: Gender, Globalization, Travel, and Food. One of our assignments for the semester is to volunteer at the slow food café in the Bastille.
 

The cafe is home to the locals of the quartier, the meals are prepared by volunteers, [...]

Perfect Timing

February 3, 2010

Sigh.
 
My parents sent a package off to me last week that was supposed to get here Monday, and it finally came today. Any mail I receive goes straight to my school and I was keeping my fingers crossed all through class that it would be there by the time I got out. It was my [...]

Bonne journée!

January 17, 2010

What a day.
 
The morning started bright and early – emphasis on the bright, thank goodness! It was a sun-shiney day in Paris with temps in the mid-40’s, a great change from the rainy, bitter cold days we’ve been having.
 
My roommates and I met up with our group around 11:30 to take the RER [...]
