Sara Louise v. Pizza
Have you ever seen Man v. Food? It’s like a travel-food show where this guy eats his way across the U.S. He’s a little nutty, but very entertaining. He ate a 42 inch pizza once. That’s right, 42 inches, and he ate it right here in San Antonio (I say ‘right here’ because I’m just…

Full Circle {review + giveaway}
It’s summertime! Unless you’re in the southern hemisphere of course, in that case, it’s wintertime! Either way, it’s always a good time for a good book and do I have one for you!

yippie-ki-yay
// Gregory and I saw Honey Jr and Honey’s Honey’s doppelgangers walking down the street in my small, Texas town; same hairstyles, same clothing style, and the same petite size… we almost asked them to join us for an apéro, but that would have been weird. // I don’t think I told y’all about Gregory…

dimanche
Before moving to the States, I promised an anxious Gregory that there would be Sundays, French Sundays. French Sundays are wonderful things, especially in Provence. In Provence, French Sundays are greeted with the brightest of blue skies and a shining sun. Apéro is had before settling in for a long lunch and a lazy afternoon. Gregory would…

on the bright side
Hi everyone! (Saying ‘bonjour tout le monde’ doesn’t seem right anymore since I’m not in France… but you know what, scr*w it, I like saying it. Let’s start over.) Bonjour tout le monde! Here we are, another Friday, another month almost gone. It’s frightening how fast it goes by, isn’t it? Yesterday marked the two month…

it was pretty much the happiest of days
On that happy day (last Saturday the 24th), I donned my Toulon rugby jersey. Normally, I don’t wear sports jerseys, but this was a special day… Mr. London was competing in his second Heineken Cup Final and since I couldn’t be there like last year, I wanted to lend my support, even if I was…

Behind the Photos XV
Last night I was watching one of those Anthony Bourdain travel food shoes. He was in my beloved Lyon, and I was hungry… all of that delicious food in France that I’m missing; the wine, the saucisson, the cheese… oh the cheese! In honor of all of that cheese, I bring you this Behind the…
