The Eighth Day Ours: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
http://theeighthdayours.blogspot.com/2011/05/charlie-and-chocolate-factory.html
The Eighth Day Ours. Saturday, May 28, 2011. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 26, skinny as a rail, smokes like a chimney, has been living on the island for almost a year now. He sells these beautiful postcards in sepia tones that feature photographs of people, which is nicer and more representitive of the country than, say, a gecko or a sunset. He also makes and sells chocolate. We are both pretty social people but have fallen into seclusion; on a given day we basically only interact with one another.

The Franco-files: September 2008
http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. So, I've been a bad, lazy blogger recently. Sorry! I'll try and do better. Once again, it's been a week, and I've done a lot. Here's a quick run-down:. Weekend trip to Giverny (Monet's house and garden) and Rouen (where Joan of Arc was burned, also home to an amazing gothic cathedral). In short, absouletly incredible and gorgeous. I took 160 photos, mostly of flowers (heh). I'll upload some of the good ones tomorrow. Saw a play, Du Cristal a la Fumee. Links to this post. But I...

The Franco-files: Epicurean
http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008/12/epicurean.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. On Monday I had my last Theatre class, finally gave my presentation, and then went with the class to our last play of the semester. It was L'illusion Comique. By Corneille. It's about a man who has lost his son, and goes to a magician for help. The magician says he will show the man his son, but what he actually shows him is a second play within the play! Then the actors of the play within a play begin a third play! Chestnut and Fennel Soup. Recipe by Thierry Chaney). Dissol...

http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008/11/veni-vidivino.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Veni, Vidi.Vino? So my Thanksgiving pecan pie turned out really well. And a close up:. Despite all of my reservations, people really liked it! I got a lot of compliments on it, I was even told it was the best dessert of the night! My cranberries on the other hand.didn't turn out so well. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, I just didn't make them far enough in advance, and so they didn't have time to gel. Oh well, they made a nice salad dressing. The first is a rose from B...

Saturday, December 6, 2008. Tomatoe and Smoked Salmon Quiche. My quiche was a hit! So, I decided to post the recipe I made up. Everything is in metric (sorry!

A handful of grated cheese. 1) Pre-heat oven to 180. 2) Press crust into 32cm pie tin. December 9, 2008 at 2:29 PM. Chron...

So, isn't this this obsolete now? Yeah I mean, no. I mean.". This blog was never intended to be interesting to anyone other than my mom and myself. If you enjoyed it, thank you! Positive feedback, while incredibly flattering, has never been my m.o., but it still does wonders for the ego. Now, I'm not panicking (yet? Caveat: The next par...

http://igotvisasinmyname.blogspot.com/2008/12/hold-up-wait-minute.html
Adventures in the land of the bike-riding, tax-paying, herring-eating blonde people. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Hold Up, Wait a Minute. I am a firm believer in the gospel of Willy Wonka. And I quote the Good Book when I say, "so much time, so little to do! Wait, strike that. Reverse it.". My plane leaves Copenhagen airport at 12:20 on the 17th. I have only just now realized how much I need to get done before I leave, so I will be hitting a museum/monument/place of note a day until that time comes. The Pr...
