OH! ONE MORE THING! My friend, Kim, has a great recipe blog. She gets inspired by recipes from TV and life...and well, she goes in the kitchen and makes up these great dishes:

Been really impressed with it so far! Most of her stuff is super easy to make and it's really good. Uses normal ingredients and tastes delicious. I've made her Green Chile Enchiladas, Green Chile cheesy rice, and Butternut squash pasta sauce. ALL delicious! Can't wait to read more. HINT KIM!!! I'm making your Asian salad next which I think is as Asian as your French chicken dumplings are French. But I think it sounds delicious so I'm making it! :)

I Miss Paris. A>LOT
Very ridiculous post. Skip if you have much better things to do. I am sure you do.
So I knew I would miss Paris...but I never knew how much. TO think I might not ever go back there to live. In my head, I still say, "Next time we're back in Paris, I need to get ______."
Like we're going back soon.
And now, I see French stuff everywhere. An article in Martha Stewart Living deconstructing Cassoulet. Yes, it deserves a capital C. And oh how I miss my French ingredients. My cooking is not the same.
SO I am in constant search of my "french life." The other day, I bought cucumbers from Costco because they were from England and the most like the gigantic cucumbers I used to eat in France.
I buy my yogurt from Trader Joe's because it's the most like the French yogurt. Yoplait just tastes like something manufactured instead of food.
I think along the way, I am going to post random posts about things I miss that I didn't expect. I had a moment the other day and now I can't remember what it was. It was something small.
Like...I miss walking up Avenue des Gobelins towards Rue Mouffetard on a Sunday to go to church, buy things for market, and walking back home. And now I can post about it because we don't live there anymore.
I love the Chinese rotisserie chicken guy who seasoned his chicken with Chinese 5 spice so it was as good as getting Chinese barbeque.
I miss getting all bundled up with a sweater, scarf, coat, gloves, hat, etc for the cold because we'd be walking. Now, I just wear a coat, run to my car, and then run to the store.
I miss walking.
I miss walking around with crumbs down my clothes all the time because I was always eating a pastry or a baguette.
I miss my vacation in the Southwest of France. I think that was my favorite one. People ask me all the time about my favorite vacation...and I usually list about 3. But I think I have a winner now.
I apparently don't want to go to bed if I am blogging about this at 12:14am.
I REALLY miss the Senko bakery on the street that runs to the right of the American church. They make an AMAZING ratatouille that I need to start working on to recreate it.
I think that's the thing I miss the most. The food. More than anything else. The vacations and the food. I am constantly wondering where I'll find the ingredients I need and what they will taste like.
Ok, that's enough. I need to go to bed.
