today
{I failed to take a photo of the inch of snow… sorry} Bonjour mes amis! (or bonsoir, or bonne nuit… whatever suits) My house is quiet. My mother left yesterday (On her birthday! But it’s kind of OK because we had celebrated on Saturday, and then again on Monday). And with the birthday girl gone,…

Veille du Jour de l'An
{Papa aka Ed Asner, Brother-in-Law in his special ‘Gap’ sweater, and The Husband, who I swear is not actually a giant} Disclosure: This post is about my New Year’s Eve, and more specifically, my New Year’s Eve dinner. Please forgive my food photography, it’s horrible, like really bad. However, I did get a new camera…

let them eat cake
King’s Cake that is (or La galette des Rois as it’s known en français). La galette des Rois (which I had last year and the year before that, and the year before that, but I don’t think I blogged about it, but honestly I don’t remember, so if any of you remember me writing a post about…

Scenes from a Christmas
{Papa’s house} My Le Petit Village Christmas kicked off at 6:30A.M.. Why so early you ask? Well surprisingly, it wasn’t Fifty who woke us up, tail wagging, ready for his walk and to see what Santa left him.

2012, I hardly knew ye
For me, 2012 feels like the fastest year that there ever was, and that scares me. They always say that the older you get, the faster time flies by, well that is certainly true and I’m certainly freaked out. I’d love to go back to being nine when every year seemed to inch by at…

this day last week…
…we were doing the shopping for our Christmas Eve dinner. Oh how I wish I could go back there (even if that would mean battling the other shoppers at Hyper U and having my cart rammed repeatedly all over again). That sad ‘end of Christmas feeling‘ is beginning to sink in, but thankfully, I have…

the day after
{twas the night before Christmas} Well hello there, how was your holiday? I hope it was full of mistletoe kisses and sugarplum dreams. Mine was as magical as magic can be and I’m over the moon, full to the brim with beef bourguignon, oysters, fois gras, and cheese (and lets not forget Les Treize Desserts…

Santa's Little Helpers
{photo: courtesy of Kirsty} A few weeks ago, I met Kirsty (You Had Me at Bonjour, Kirsty) for dinner in Aix at a cozy place called, Hue Cocotte (we had let our husbands come along too and we all had a marvelous time… like a getting home at 2am kind of marvelous time). Well on that…
It's Me, Sara Louise
