It’s All Maya!

If Life is an illusion, then why do I keep banging my head against the wall?

Si la Vie est une illusion, pourquoi je n'arrête pas de me taper la tête sur les murs?

A Moveable French Feast!

June 29th, 2010 · By Lynn

I know, I know, Hemingway was speaking figuratively when he spoke about Paris being a moveable feast, but for the past month since arriving back in France it has literally been a moveable feast!  We have done nothing but travel  throughout France eating, drinking, and socializing with family and friends.

We arrived in Paris and left […]

Napa Valley and Sonoma - Wine Country

February 26th, 2010 · By Lynn

Of course we couldn’t go to San Francisco and not head up to Sonoma and Napa Valley!  The weather wasn’t cooperating, but the  countryside is so beautiful there.  In any case, we had our minds set on drinking wine!  Years ago when I was living in Marin County, a friend and I use to head […]

February 18th, 2010 · By Lynn

6 of us went to New York City.
8 of us flew to Texas.
10 of us traveled to Phoenix.
6 of us continued on to Las Vegas.
So when the decision was made to fly to San Francisco, you know it wasn’t going to be just Patrick and I getting on that plane!  Nope, there were eleven of […]

“Rude-nella” Opps! Lunella Restaurante New York City

January 24th, 2010 · By Lynn

Okay, so another person came up with the name, “Rude-nella”, describing Lunella’s restaurant in Little Italy, but the name is so appropriate when talking about the place, I just had to use it!
We had been walking all day, from the Statue of Liberty to the financial district, over to Ground Zero, Chinatown and finally making […]

Not Enough Hours In The Day!

December 22nd, 2009 · By Lynn

Busy, busy, busy!  Christmas parties, Ari’s birthday party and the Steelers’ game at my twin’s.  And what a game it was!  It looked like all was lost up until the final 3 seconds of the game!  Roethlisberger threw a 19 yard pass to Mike Wallace like a repeat of the catch Hines Ward made to […]

Faites de la Pomme de Terre - “Make Potatoes” Festival!

September 23rd, 2009 · By Lynn

 
About a year ago this time I was talking to a friend of mine and asking her the usual, how things were going, etc.  Our conversation went something like this:
Me:  So, what’s new?
Monique:  Oh Gérard came to see me today (her ex) and we were talking about how there are so many festivities honoring music, […]

Hungry Woman In Paris vs. Chez Moi

May 7th, 2009 · By Lynn

Chez Moi:
I don’t usually compare books when I do a book review of something I’ve read, but these two books have so many similarities, yet nothing in common, that I just had to write about both of them simultaneously.  (I know it’s an oxymoron, but it fits here perfectly.)
I first read Chez Moi by Agnès […]

Which Came First The Myth Or The Recipe!

April 29th, 2009 · By Lynn

It’s the same old adage of which came first, the chicken or the egg!  Earlier this month I heard a tale from a friend of a friend.
Friend: My friend and her mom went to have lunch at Neiman-Marcus and they decided to have the “Neiman-Marcus Cookie” for dessert.  The cookie was so good that my […]

Yes! French Women Do Get Fat!

April 10th, 2009 · By Lynn

Maya Muses: Billy over at Billy’s Lines of Gibberish wrote an interesting piece about why French people manage to stay thin despite all the rich food they eat and it reminded me of an article I wrote two years ago when everyone was talking about the book, French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano, so I decided […]

Dining With Jim Haynes

March 27th, 2009 · By Lynn

All the food blogs on Paris seem to be talking about the Hidden Kitchen which is one of many underground private restaurants around the world.  The one that most Paris bloggers are writing about has been operating for just under two years by a couple from Seattle, Laura and Braden.
The idea is you cook an upscale 10 course […]
