The Sabbatical Chef: May 2015
http://thesabbaticalchef.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The adventures of an American lover of all things French. Sunday, May 3, 2015. 8th Grade Great Macaron Throwdown. Happy Garçons Paris 2015. Especially this weekend. I HAVE made macarons before, several times, en fait. Lemon, chocolate, vanilla. I have photos to prove it. This weekend, however, was one of epic flops. Not once, but twice. Attempt #1 (making Italian meringue)-. Batter too runny, but I baked them anyway just to see. I was expecting a miracle, peut-être. Attempt #2 (French meringue this time).

She was told that there were only a couple of piec...

The adventures of an American lover of all things French. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Pierre Hermé et moi. When I was in Paris last month (Don't you just love the way that rolls off my keyboard? As if I am a big shot? Here is one of Soledad's quotes: "Je fais un livre avec Pierre Hermé, oui je sais, il a trop de chance." "I am making a book with Pierre Hermé, yes I know, he is very lucky.". I decided to start with Riz au lait vanillé. Cook the rice in the vanilla milk. How would I eat it? I ate some fo...

http://thesabbaticalchef.blogspot.com/2010/03/la-tour-eiffel.html
The adventures of an American lover of all things French. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Tears and la Tour Eiffel. Every time I go to Paris, I vow that I am not going to take dozens (hundreds? More photos of the Eiffel Tower. I mean, how many does one need? How many do I already have? How many of the 23,929 photos in my iPhoto folder are of la Tour? But did I keep that promise to myself this time? As soon as she came into view on the bus ride from the airport, I started snapping away. And I did not stop.

The adventures of an American lover of all things French. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. It's not just a bouncy ball, though. In Durham, we have the American Tobacco Trail, named for the American Tobacco Company, a cigarette-making company founded by Mr. J.B. Duke in 1890. The makers of Lucky Strike. The trail is a 20-mile walking-biking-running trail built where abandoned railroad tracks used to be. We have the Durham Bulls, our AAA baseball team, named for Bull Durham tobacco.
