Shangri-La and Sangria!

You should probably testContinue reading “Shangri-La and Sangria!”

Beer + Marshmallows?

Now, unlike Hugh, accents I can do, but I’m not much of a beer person. Despite that, I’m just asContinue reading “Beer + Marshmallows?”

Maudlin with Madeleines
Once upon a time, when I lived in France, I fell in love. It was a whisper-soft morning in Aix-en-Provence, and the world of southern France was stirring like a spoon through honey – slowly; sweetly. Still new enough to delight in every minute facet of this uniquely french culture in which I found myself,Continue reading “Maudlin with Madeleines”
