Passage Brady – Adventures in Indian Cuisine

March 11, 2010

When I first came to Paris, I imagined myself dining out in bistros and cafes, eating classic French dishes like  beef bourguignon, or ratatouille or creme brulee, all while wearing a black béret, striped shirt, and a gorgeous French man on my arm.
 
Okay, a girl can dream.
 
What I didn’t imagine, is how madly in love [...]

Nothin’ Like a Little Inspiration

March 4, 2010

I’ve been excited about today since the semester started. It was the first day of our photography class, which is called Le Flâneur Reconsidered: Documentary Photography in the Streets of Paris. Insert gasps of excitement here.
 
I, of course, woke up at 7:00am in anticipation and like any dorky kid on the first day of [...]

Gluttonasana aka You Got Butter On My Yoga Mat

March 1, 2010

A friend and I went to Le Cameleon today, a little restaurant right next to school in lovely Montparnasse. We enjoyed a three course lunch.
 
Yep, you heard me. Three courses. For lunch. If three courses for lunch is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
 
I started with the saumon [...]

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 [...]

The Plan That Wasn’t

February 19, 2010

I’m a day person. Mornings are my thing. Yep, I’m one of those obnoxious morning people that wakes up chipper and ready to go, bouncing off the walls and singing whatever song I wake up with in my head.
 
Nights? Not so much. I always joke that I turn into a pumpkin around midnight. I’ve [...]

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 [...]

Bon Anniversaire/Bon Voyage

December 31, 2009

My Mom has always talked about how difficult it is to have a birthday so close to Christmas. People are tired because they just worked their hiney’s off prepping for Christmas, and are overwhelmed with the thought of the new year and the laundry list of looming resolutions.
 
Well, this year, we celebrated Mom’s 55th [...]

It’s not YOURami. It’s MYami.

December 4, 2009

Today was the big day! The last hurdle to jump before departure day, which by the way is in exactly four weeks from today. That’s right…in just one month I’ll be hopping on a plane, saying “Au Revoir,” and beginning what is sure to be an epic adventure.
 
Anyone staying for more than 90 days [...]

A Place Called “Limbo”

November 29, 2009

Well. I’m back at school. It’s weird to think that I’ll be only sleeping in my room here at the house for 7 more nights. Ever. For the rest of time.
 
I hate to admit this, but I’m not sad about it. Holy cow, did I just say that out loud? Okay, so that’s a bit [...]

“We fit in way too well here…”

November 28, 2009

I always love the weekends following holidays, especially after Thanksgiving. It’s the start of a really exciting month…and most importantly, the end of the school semester! In just two weeks I’ll be home for good, basking in the glory of a month off from school. I’ve been using the past week and this weekend to [...]
