lately, France has been calling. leaving messages.
France says to me, I am good ingredients. I am delicious. I am simple yet refined.
basically, France is the country of dreams.
…so you can’t blame me for wanting to fit in.
I think I might.
I love to cook eggs and cook them well.
I find every excuse to put a fried egg in a sandwich.
I am beyond excited.
We are actually going to France this summer! Soon!
In preparation, we decided a good croissant was in order.
What better place than Tartine in San Francisco?
…delicious.
Made even better by good company.
And finally, I felt the need to Master the Art of French Cooking.
I basically sought out the simplest recipe in the book to begin.
Of course I also decided that a great time to try a new recipe was on some unsuspecting dinner guests.
Thankfully, I only ended up with a few minor burns.

Oh, and literally, the most tender and juicy chicken of our lives.
Julia Child knows what she is talking about, ya’ll.
Oh, France, I cannot WAIT to meet you.
