This and That. And a “Method” for Vegetable Stew…

March 21, 2010

Spring break has come to a rather uneventful close. No crazy parties to speak of (well, we did make an appearance at The Popin on Friday night – apparently it’s socially acceptable to wear a rat on your shoulder as if it were a parrot in public here. “Hey, isn’t that rat underage!?” Good times), [...]

Granola Goddess – And Thoughts on Kitchen Creativity

March 10, 2010

I woke up this morning with the urge to get in the kitchen. The sun had just come up – my shining hours. I love the mornings and always feel the most creative and alive when the day is young. I knew I wanted to spend this morning making something yummy before time slipped away [...]

Who You Callin’ Nuts – A Recipe for Stove Top Granola

March 3, 2010

I mentioned yesterday that we started an intensive module class this week. Two weeks of  Global Communications everyday from 10:00am to 6:00pm with other visits in addition.
 
Like this morning, for example… We were going to a conference at Cephalon Pharmaceuticals European headquarters and had to leave the house at 8:30am to arrive on time. [...]

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 [...]

Leftover Remix

February 12, 2010

Leftovers.
 
Even just the word doesn’t sound too appealing, not to me at least. Nope, I’ve never been much of a leftovers kinda gal, but lately I’ve been inspired to jazz them up a bit and make something new.
Some leftovers are easy to use. Like this jar for example. It’s technically a leftover, recycled [...]

“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 [...]

The Universal Language.

January 26, 2010

I find myself in this continual dance between overwhelming joy and gratitude that I am able to spend 5 months in Paris, and frustration with the fact that I don’t know the language very well and am quite honestly clueless in this big city. I’m fighting with those pessimistic voices in my head that are [...]

Sandra Lee Jr.

December 30, 2009

I realized the other day that I haven’t actually posted a recipe in a while. Well, there is a reason for that. You see, I haven’t actually been cooking. I know, who the heck am I?
 
My meals lately are more of a compilation of various ingredients thrown together and called “dinner.” Kind of like this [...]
