AT HOME AND ON THE ROAD: October 2012

http://athomeandontheroad.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

AT HOME AND ON THE ROAD. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Pumpkins, Treats, and Critters good and bad. Well, here we are in the middle of October with the cooler temps, rain, and pumpkins gracing every corner. I always feel so sorry for the neighbors who get their pumpkins on the porch steps before all the others, why? Anyway, enough about squirrels. Oh wait, did I say that I have the small red type living under my deck, also a few chipmunks, and a rabbit? At least they haven't returned yet. So when I saw th...

AT HOME AND ON THE ROAD: Un Petit Morceau

http://athomeandontheroad.blogspot.com/2013/02/un-petit-morceau.html

AT HOME AND ON THE ROAD. Friday, February 1, 2013. When just a small bit of sugar is needed.try this. Put some dried prunes and pecans in the food processor until chopped up. Roll the mixture into small balls and then refrigerate overnight. The next day, melt some dark chocolate in the microwave just till warm. Now dip the prune and nut balls in the chocolate and place on parchment paper to harden off. Store these in a cool place. Eat one whenever you have a craving for something sweet. God, I Love Paris.

Reflections on our social world from a sociological perspective. Waste not, want not. I've tried several times now to de-clutter our refrigerator. You'd think I'd be delighted to get back to our U.S. sized double wide fridge after barely managing with skinny French frigos. He calculates that he uses about 15 staples a year, which means his box of 5000 staples is really overkill. That box of staples is going to be something his descendants will have to deal with, and I'm afraid I have the same staple ...

Reflections on our social world from a sociological perspective. I cited this in an earlier post on walking in France, A pied. What makes this sociological? We seem to have reached a point where we just don't see the point of continuing, if our steps aren't going to count towards our daily total. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I'll ponder it as I work on my step totals over this long Memorial Day weekend, on a fresh battery charge. Friday, May 22, 2015. Links to this post.

Reflections on our social world from a sociological perspective. The French call a heat wave une canicule. And the central part of France is suffering from one at the moment. Météo France. Has the yellow alert showing on its map, while NE France is on orange alert for severe thunderstorms, and we in the southeast, where it is hot, hot, hot, (34-36 degrees, or mid to high 90s Fahrenheit), do not. Have any particular weather warning. My body tells me though that if we are not quite at a canicule. And that ...

Reflections on our social world from a sociological perspective. The big (and) easy. I discovered this enormous coffee mug in a U.S. hotel room this week. Cheek kisses), particularly from my kids' friends. In France, I was ALWAYS greeted with two cheek kisses by the boys' friends (not to mention all of their sports' teammates and the teammates' parents), but now I'm not sure I'd get much eye contact with some if I wasn't so insistent on hugging the kids I haven't seen in two years.
