It’s a well known fact that Frog’s legs and snails are a French delicacy and have been for centuries. Well, they remain on the menu today but go hand in hand with some other gloriously delicious dishes too. No one ever told you not to believe everything you read on the internet? I'm French, I know better 5

There are samples in little cups with glass bells on top which you lift to your nose to smell. I bought the Geisha tea (green tea with cherry-blossom) for my brother's birthday. 5

This is at least a recipe that I can easily make here. I have a great French baker living near my place. He makes the best sourdough French rolls. 1 5

Hide contents Real French people do not eat frogs or snails. It's a legend we tell around to make stupid tourists eat them then we laugh at them for being so credulous Ding, ding, ding! Clo dearest, You said the magic words for today! Mom bought me this 33 rpm record when I was 11 or 12. "Only for Americans" is one of my favorite songs from the Broadway musical.

I love how an old song still resonate today. How are you and Aod? We are doing well. Yesterday and today are Buddhist holy days. Aod went to the temple yesterday, and we hosted dinner for a few friends last night. Both days are no alcohol days so bars and clubs are closed and none of the stores can sell alcohol. Of course, Friday they will be out in force in the bars. 3 2
Popular Post Drew Espinosa Posted July 14, 2022 Popular Post Posted July 14, 2022 Yayo update: So the entrance of the laundry room only has a curtain instead of a door. The curtain is supported by a rod that is only held in place thanks to friction and Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. And that rod will remain there as long as you don't add a strong enough downward force, like say pulling down on the curtain... Anyways, yesterday morning, Yayo decided the curtain looked like a fun toy to play with, so he began clawing and pulling at it and lo and behold, the rod was dislodged and came crashing down beside him, which gave him quite the fright judging by his puffed up tail. Now, you'd expect any kitten would learn from this and not play with the curtain again, but not Yayo... no, this morning he again played with the curtain and once again the rod came crashing down and gave him another fright just like yesterday. Maybe the lesson will stick this time. 6
