Friday, August 22, 2008. But, in the end, I think we ended up traumatizing more than helping the poor thing. I felt horrible when one day I poured cleaning solution on the terrace in order to clean up their bird poop (it was everywhere, like it had rained blueberries! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, February 25, 2008. When I recently went home to the US for a week, I had the immense pleasure of eating 3 different Persian dishes, all of which, in the hopes of an eventual return, my father had saved for me. Two were made by an aunt and one by my grandmother. The dishes -. Ghormeh sabzi, khoresh-e-garcht, and fessenjon. Thursday, February 7, 2008.

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. So these are my first (and not last! Attempts at food photography.we picked up these cakes at an incredible patisserie in Marseille called "Dites Moi Tout." We had been walking around all day and I wanted to show my Dad, who was visiting, one of the reasons why I love living in France. These people know how to eat! I know they're not the greatest shots but I was playing around with shadow and light, focus, distance.hard work while you're salivating! Wednesday, November 5, 2008.

Tales from Mars: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it...No!

Monday, January 19, 2009. Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it.No! After several years of having lived in hot climates, I've become a total sun snob and had a really difficult time managing the cold when we went to Montreal and New York for the holidays. I remember walking out of Trudeau International into the parking garage and gasping for air as the cold air hit me. I seriously couldn't breathe! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Moving from Dallas, Texas to Marseille, France is not your typical move. But I don't want a typical life so I guess it works out nicely. I had no idea what to expect from a life in France, and although it's been hard-going at times I count myself lucky. And, dare I say it, more French than I thought I'd be. View my complete profile.

Friday, September 5, 2008. Bivouaking in the Alps. I was beat an hour into what would be a 5.5 hour hike (about 7 km) that took us from 1,687 meters to 2,618 meters. Along the way we stopped to snack at lookout points, check out a herd of sheep that followed us with their jingling bells, breathe the pristine air, marvel at the silence (no scooters and horns and trash trucks! Our first camping trip in the Alps was a success. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bivouaking in the Alps. View my complete profile.

Thursday, January 17, 2008. What You Got the Hump About? So last night I asked my husband what "hump" was in French. (Don't ask why.) And I didn't mean "hump" as in a Quasimodo-like hump but hump as in "to hump," like what a dog might do to your leg at a dinner party. Here's what I found in Harrap's, a mammoth of a dictionary that I consult nearly every day. To have a hump le plus difficile est passé maintenant:. We're over the hump now faire la tête, bouder:. To have the hump, be sulking. (What? Every c...
