It's Been a While

Lee and I on Vday

Bonjour! I  know it's been almost two weeks but I've been a little busy. Another major reason for the delay is my computer. My darling parents purchased me a brand new laptop for Christmas... Thanks 'rents. However, the computer has been on the fritz since I landed in Paris. Thus, my lovely roommate Leah Kate Anna Heartfield has been so kind to let me use her laptop----> Thank you Leah. So since the last time I posted and today, there hasn't been much news. Last Friday we went to Brittany, France, I will post up the pictures in a separate blog. So what has happened since...I'm not sure. The meals from the past two weeks haven't been much to rave about. Two Monday's ago, our host mother made some type of dish with leeks wrapped in HAM!!! Leah and I were so upset. Prior to our arrival, the University  made us answer this extensively annoying health form explaining all our dietary needs, our allergies and medical issues. We filled out about two separate forms inquiring about our dietary restrictions if any existed. So of course, we put shellfish and any type of pig product. In addition, I am allergic to shellfish so I absolutely cannot eat it. Consequently, she had to find left overs. My later postings will be a little more exciting than this. So, in my usual fashion...Stay tuned and stay tasty- Coacabella

Anyway, here are the images...

Lundi 4 Feb .. This is our alternative dinner because we didn't the ham dish. This wasn't bad. Fresh carrots and some roast beef. The dessert I really didn't like much. It was like a moose made with chocolate powder I assume. It had a very pasty like taste and I didn't like that. It also some type of fruit or candy.

Mardi 5 Feb.. This dinner was a little better than the previous one. This is a quiche with leeks. This family love leeks 

Mecredi.. 6 Feb... Since we fast on Wednesday, Lee lee and I decided not to have meals on Wednesday. Remember we only get four meals a week.  After our little prayer meeting with each other, we broke our fast with this pasta that I bought from the supermarket Carrefour. It's fresh, not frozen pasta. It's bow tie pasta with chicken and Parmesan cheese. So delicious.

Jeudi 7 Feb.  Finally we got chicken!!!! Thank God. It was oven fried chicken with a pinto beans, carrots, potatoes and string bean veggie mix. Tasty

Lundi 11 Feb. Bolognese lasagna... was on point! For dessert we had teramsi

Mardi Gras.. Fat Tuesday 12 Feb . Our host mother told us that on Mardi Gras, the French normally eat crepes, which is originated from Brittany... That post will be coming up. So we had two crepes The first one was Salmon with creme fraiche. The second crepe was turkey meat with eggs. Then we made a dessert crepe. 

We went out for Valentines day with our friends, and I'll just say it was very interesting day and a very different Valentines Day experience. I leave it at that.

Vendredi 15 Feb.. We had a little feast because our host brother John will be departing today to go to Spain for a small trip and once he returns, he'll be going back to Korea. So here's our little feast  For dessert we had three chocolate ice cream

Early Friday, I went to the Jewish Museum with my friend Kaysen and we were hungry afterwards. So we stopped in  a bakery to get some pizza and I had to get this pastry. It called out to me because strawberries are my favorite! It was so yummy... I mean just look at it.
