Eating Pretty
I think Holly is eating a donut. I like donuts.
Besides that, having lived in France for the last four years, I would say that the French paradox is not a paradox whatsoever. The lifestyle of most of the French is geared towards enjoying food, though this is not played out in quantity but quality. That's the key difference. While North Americans suffer guilt about any ounce of fat, they forget that a little fat won't hurt you, it'll make you happy, and make you happy enough not to obsess about food. Plus, the produce is just BETTER. Less prepared food, more time set aside for eating properly, a lifestyle that isn't geared to moving around on four wheels, and the focus on eating for pleasure have created a culture that doesn't gorge itself for guilt. I'm not sure if Americans eat for beauty so much as they eat for inadequacy.
Question of the Day: What are you planning to eat during the Super Bowl?
I'm based in France... so I had dinner way before the Superbowl would even happen. Still... got all festive... went with sausage, potatoes and guacamole, but done french style. So boudin blanc aux trompettes de mort, carottes de sable, roasted salt potatoes and guacamole à la poire. Enjoy and GO BEARS!

Last bite on earth:
Last night's plain boiled pasta, tossed into a small pot with some Covent Garden Spinach Soup with Muscade, simmered with a fresh cracked egg on top. Sliced tomatoes and parsley tossed in at the end with a treacly curl of olive oil. Took me less than five minutes and it was sinful.
