Since arriving in France, I've learned that my food vocabulary is not at all extensive. Show me a menu from an upscale restaurant, and I will probably be able to readily recognize a third of what's listed. With the various sauces and different ways of preparing things (Bernaise? Lyonnais? du pays? Gognelienne?), a simple dish like beef and rice ( Read more... )

Oh Man, best story ever. I started cracking up at the "I half-expected to hear seagulls" and basically died when I read "...smell like a barge." Thanks for making my evening :)

Anytime. :) Are you seeing Scott today? I hope you have a fantastic post-Valentine's Day weekend.

PS: I'm GOING to Czechslovakia (Prague, to be exact) in April during our vacation. We're hitting up Vienna and Florence too. I'll take pictures and save some for you.

Luckily I bought pretzels too. I've been munching on those all day with a chocolate bar. And peanut butter.

It's a wonder I don't weigh 400 lbs.

Actually, shrimp flavored chips sound interesting. I love shrimp and oysters. I understand what you mean about allergic reactions. I knew a girl in college who almost died due to an allergic reaction to crab legs.

Fortunately I'm not allergic to anything that I know of, but allergic reactions can be awful. My first boyfriend would blow up like a blowfish if he ever got stung by a bee.
