w t f
The ‘f’ in today’s title, could mean lots of things, like, ‘Friday’, or ‘freaky’, or ‘Freaky Friday’. It could be ‘firetruck’ (that’s the only word that starts with F and ends with K you’ll see around these parts), or it could even stand for ‘France’, as in What the France?!… an expression that I have…

France: What's Been Going Down
via I rarely blog about current events in France unless something big is happening, like an election, or that time strikes were threatening to keep me stuck in The LPV without any gasoline to escape. This time there isn’t one thing happening but a few things that are lending to a strange energy in France,…

tartiflette
Today I’m going to do something that I’ve never done before… a recipe post. You see what happened was this; on Saturday afternoon, we were watching the rugby on telly (Clermont was battling Brive in one doozy of a match), when Gregory suddenly sat up, looked and me and exclaimed, “I want Tartiflette.” (These food…

[A little factoid for your Friday… mdr is the French equivalent of lol] It’s Friday y’all! Or, c’est vendredi y’all! (I have no idea how to say y’all in French, maybe tout le monde, yes, we’ll go with tout le monde.) C’est vendredi tout le monde! Yes, that’s better. (Can you tell I’m excited? I’m…

mon parfait dimanche
That means, ‘my perfect Sunday’, but technically I should have titled this post, ‘mon parfaite dimanche de printemps‘, which means, ‘my perfect spring Sunday’, because this type of Sunday really only applies to Spring and Summer. If it was winter, then this would all be malarky. When spring is in full swing in Le Petit…

Pâques en Auvergne
This is Clermont-Ferrand. I took the photo from one of those rest stops designed for taking in the scenery. It’s a very special spot for The Husband… years ago, The Husband’s grandfather would drive him back to boarding school on Monday mornings, and they would always stop there and have pains au chocolat for breakfast. It’s…

pâté day
Pâté making is one of those things I never thought I would do, like ever. Except maybe if I was enrolled in a cooking class or something with my girlfriends, but that would never happen because I’m not really a joiner. So before I moved to Le Petit Village, pâté was only something that I ate, not…
