My 14 Euro Feast

As I mentioned before, Paris is the most ridiculously expensive city I have ever been too! Miguel and I travel a lot and in order to do that we travel on a budget. Our budget does not afford 150 Euro dinners, let alone a 12.oo euro cup of soup.... The unromantic but sensible solution ? Eat out of bakeries and grocery stores. Everything that you see in this photo was purchased in a Parisian grocery store for 14.00 Euros. (2 blocks from the Eiffel Tower) Miguel and I took our loot back via subway to our Hotel and feasted! As you can see red wine for me, peach nectar for Miguel. Roquefort and chorizo sandwiches on baguette bread. Followed with an apple, chocolate filled sweet bread and a cafe latte. My only advise, if you go to Paris take a lot of money , you will need it!

I miss my husband

I was so excited today! I went to bed last night thinking My husband is coming home! I woke up this morning and checked the computer flight tracker and saw that his plane was over Portugal heading west! I rushed home from work curled my hair and applied fresh make-up, cooked a frozen pizza for the boys and as I was heading out the door to Kansas City, I got the call. Delta totally overbooked the flight. Seven people had to stay behind in Atlanta. Hopefully he will be home in twenty four hours. In the meantime my love, enjoy the Atlanta airport and all that it has to offer ! (by the time you come home , the house wont be clean anymore nor will I look as nice as I looked today)

Garcon, il y a une mouche dans ma soupe!

Yeee-Haaaaw! Today my Husband purchased two tickets to (drum roll.........) Paris France! We had planned to visit Germany but things change and I can live with this. [insert smiley face] Our plan is to fly to Paris and spend some time and take a train through the French and Spanish Basque Country and head on home to Asturias. I know nothing about France, I am an ignorant American. My husband speaks French and I speak a retarded dialect of Spanglish. I don't have enough years to attempt to learn French so I will concentrate my efforts on learning........duh French Food/ French Wine If any readers have any " must try "French cuisine please do let me know! I do believe that I will try my best to eat and drink one of everything that France has to offer me!
