Everyday Pantry Staples

February 28, 2010

I thought I’d show you what I like to keep on hand to keep my pantry. Even in Paris, I find myself gravitating towards the same basic staples that I’ve been eating for years.

Airing My Dirty Laundry

February 23, 2010

Mondays are always fun. The last remnants of that glorious weekend feeling are wearing off (well, not so much in my case – my calves and hiney are still sore from all those walks I took!), and the reality of a new week is setting in which means there are several tasks that need to [...]

Wordless Wednesday

January 27, 2010

Ok maybe just a few…
 
Took a two hour walk through Paris this afternoon. Started at my apartment, walked to the river and strolled along until I got to the Eiffel Tower. Thought I’d share what I saw

It’s all new to me!

January 14, 2010

Today has been full of new experiences.
 
Okay, so I guess that’s not saying much since I’m living in a city that I have never been to before…where they speak a language I’m very rusty in…and where pretty much every sight, sound and taste is brand spankin’ new. But I digress…
 
The first new experience…sunshine in [...]

Le pain (Bread)

January 7, 2010

So, as you might imagine, they eat a lot of bread here in Paris. Don’t get me wrong, I love bread. But…one problem. I’m allergic.
 
Okay, so I’m not a celiac. And I won’t convulse on the floor if I have a little. It’s very mild but it makes me really uncomfortable – like lethargic [...]

After a longggg day and night of traveling, I’m here. Holy cow. Somebody pinch me. Is this foooo real?

Bonjour, mes amis!
 
I’m currently sitting in the airport waiting for my flight out of Tampa to Philadelphia. From there I’ll hop on board another plane and cruise on over the ocean to Paris.
Last night, after  a day spent rolling up my underwear and stuffing it into shoes packing (which felt like one big puzzle [...]

Happy New Year!
 
I’ve spent the last few days in the company of friends ringing in the new year with lots of laughs, lots of love…and lots of food.
 
Actually, I can’t really believe how beautiful our new years celebration was. Somebody pinch me! We got to the beach mid-afternoon on Thursday with all of the essentials [...]

Maps don’t know everything.

December 28, 2009

I can remember sitting in a yoga class just days before the new year, and hearing my teacher Ashley say her motto for the new year: “2009 is mine!”  Her no fear attitude and her enthusiasm were inspiring, and I have thought about that single moment in class several times over the past year when [...]
