...elated

I just got some great news but I almost don't want to celebrate until it's sure sure, like when I can see the message in writing in my inbox... For the moment I've got too much "nervous" energy even though I'm pooped from velib'ing to and from the Mission Lunch kitchen where I worked all morning. I must really get back in shape...hah!
I feel like chopping something or cooking something elaborate to work it off but I don't want to stink up my whole living room for my weekend futon guest. Oh, the joys of living in a small and overpriced apartment with a tiny kitchen that opens out to the living room...
At least it's a beautiful day in Paris again! It figures. Of course I spent forever looking for a 10 centime item (I ended up getting a crepe spatula for 3.90 instead) to get free shipping for an online fan purchase last night after my cross-town trek to the Carrefour yesterday ended up in disappointment!

...feeling inspired

Yay! I've finally gotten off my lass and done it! Here is my latest attempt at keeping in touch with my lovely friends here in Paris, at home in beautiful Cali and all around the world. For the moment it's probably gonna be filled with more random musings and complaining about the heat and/or the French (I do it with affection, of course!) but I hope to be able to find time to post some recipes and thoughts about life in cooking school in Paris when it begins (a few more weeks to go), though I don't promise to only talk about French food. I miss my mom's cooking already!
Here we go!
