repeating events

written by Jana March 26, 2007

On Sunday John cooked up a French breakfast for us–complete with soft-boiled eggs, freshly-toasted baguette, ham (for the meat eaters) and steamed milk beverages for each member of the family. Really it tasted so much like we were in Paris, I was almost fooled for a moment.

So hats off to French breakfasts–what a pleasant way to start the Sabbath. And, FYI, I think that repeating event on John’s monthly calendar, the one that says “be extra nice to Dilly* this week,” is really paying off.

It’s nice to be so loved.

*Did you know this is John’s nickname for me? If not, you do now. ;)

I thought French people only had cigarettes and coffee for breakfast? Isn’t that how they stay so thin? ;-)

Sounds delicious, though. I love french style baguettes.

you’re probably right, JG. Perhaps our breakfasts in Paris were what they feed Americans when they travel to France?

Wow, that sounds good — I should try that. Maybe some restaurants here in town serve a breakfast like that.

At our house, we have a traditional French breakfast that’s a little closer to Journeygal’s description: coffee and two squares of chocolate, or if it’s a weekend coffee and a croissant from the local bakery.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
