One of my “resolutions” this year is to try to cook French food once a week. I don’t know how long this is going to last, but yesterday I cooked potato soup according to Julia Child’s “Mastering French Cooking” recipe. Easy – no problem – piece of cake. It was a chance to try some new kitchen methods, and it was kind of fun. The soup itself was good, and there is enough leftover for some when we get home tonight. I just couldn’t bring myself to put so much cream in – so I guess my recipe was a little healthier.
The weather around here is just getting colder and colder. Especially our early rising and early departures in the morning – it is usually hovering around freezing when we leave. Yesterday it was really windy on top of the cold temperatures. Hard to believe we were wearing flip-flops a couple of weeks ago in Cambodia.
I’m getting close to wrapping up the translation project at work – hopefully I can get it done by the end of today. So far it has been a good experience. I just wish I had more time to deal with it during my day. I have to sneak some work on it five minutes at a time between classes, which isn’t very efficient.
OK, off to face the cold this morning. I’ve started wearing gloves to work, but it is not quite cold enough for the scarf yet.
