First stop: Monet’s Garden. Me, Ross and my dad among the ANGELIC lily pads.

On June 6th, 2012 we visited Arromanches to COMMEMORATE the events that occurred on D-Day, ironically, June 6th, 1944. Me, my mom and brother in front of Gold Beach, one of the numerous beaches invaded by U.S. soldiers decades ago.

Cod served with whipped potatoes, vegetables and an ETHEREAL sauce at Au Bouillon Normand in Honfleur. All of the ingredients were “du marche,” meaning, “of the market.”

McDonald’s, the ESSENCE of America, chez France.

In the kitchen at Château de Chenonceau, baking bread was a QUOTIDIAN activity.

HONING your inner French self made easy with riverside picnic.

I LOATHE the artificial sweet taste of stevia leaves.
