Galloping off to Greece!

Got ready and got to the airport seamlessly. Couldn't change to an earlier flight though i was early. However I was only allowed 1 small clear bag to put my lotions and liquids!

Not that much more to do as I don't have tools or access to anything to do crafts so.... lotsa fooding! 😀 Walnuts: This is embarrassing but I … Continue reading Plus plus de fooding →

Food for thought en France

I remember going to the boulangerie and person in front of me asked for "une traditionelle". That was really cool to catch on a local ordering something so classic French. I was inspired and asked as well for "une traditionelle". I had no idea what type of baguette after all LOL but I guess it's … Continue reading Food for thought en France →
