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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
