Hello internet universe! Every time I haven't posted in a while I am tempted to make resolutions and voice them - "Starting now, I will post at least once a week" - "No, really, I will put it in my calendar and everything!" However, I know this may not be true and it sounds silly to keep promising posts and not delivering.
Hopefully I can post more regularly, but that is
not a promise.
This time, I do have a (somewhat) valid reason for not posting. A month ago today, I sliced the tip of my finger off with a mandolin. Yes, I know it has been a month, but it was a
really bad cut. I had to get stitches - twice - and my finger is still recovering.
Regardless, I do have a lot to write about. As you can tell by the title, I am in France! Paris, to be exact. And the title might have also given you a hint to the culinary school that I am at here. Although I am not as revolutionary as Julia Child, I am following her footsteps and studying classic French cuisine. Now let me tell you, even without the handicap of my injured finger, this adventure is definitely an experience, and a difficult one at that. For the first few weeks my mom visited and helped me move in to my apartment and such - and for that I am
so thankful. I would have survived, but it was great to have her when I had to have a French doctor remove my stitches and give me twelve shots of anesthesia to do so.
I won't go on and on about my finger, but instead move on to pictures. There are pictures of Paris, pictures of food I have eaten, and some pictures of food I have made. Enjoy!
Until next time, which is hopefully soon, and hopefully with a completely healed ring finger.
