It was a beautiful purple cabbage from our CSA share and I actually wrote a post and took pictures about that particular share [...]

For now I will report on our transit day in Paris on [...]

Waiting for the day to break & still in the sleep/wake up zone, this morning I am trying to count how many times I moved.  Probably about twenty times, some moves bigger that others. I will never catch up with Pierre who moved about thirty times. So, yes! We do have some experience [...]

Pierre made my “Tasty Fluffy Golden Pancakes” batter for breakfast this morning. As we were meated out from last night’s BBQ dinner, we opted for a lighter option than eggs and bacon.
