Como una traductora, es muy importante practicar los idiomas cada día. Y por supuesto, es importante para mi, personalmente porque quiero hablar con fluencia. Simplemente, me encantan los idiomas. Hablo un poco de muchos idiomas – el alemán, el francés, el checo, el árabe… Mis idiomas más fuertes son el español y el francés, entonces, […]

The Seven Spoons Cookbook: a Review
This post contains an affiliate link to the book on Amazon. I’ve been cooking pretty seriously for well over twenty years. I dabbled in cooking while I still lived in my parents’ house; my desire and interest in cooking really began once I had my driver’s license and would spend vast quantities of time […]
Guernica / Gernika / Gernika-Lumo
After ten years of plotting and planning, I finally got my Guernica tattoo. It’s placed on my left forearm, surrounding my ancient (and very first) Keith Haring tattoo. I’ve declared this arm my “art” arm, as I plan on adding to it with the likes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, more Picasso, Alphonse Mucha, etc. […]
Le Bureau des Légendes
I wrote a really short post about this French television show a few weeks ago – a very short, shitty little post that didn’t do it justice. It really is my favorite show of the year – of several years, really. (Hm… not counting The Americans. That show remains way up high on my list.) We […]
Aglio e Olio: No frills, hearty Italian food in Seattle
I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty well-known for my love of Italian food, yeah? One of the things I miss about the Northeast is the incredible variety of delicious Italian. It could just be that we don’t go out to eat as often as we did back in the day, but there […]
Stonehenge!
There is a full scale replica of the Stonehenge right here in Washington State. I found out about it several years ago and have been dying to see it. This past holiday weekend, we finally drove out to Goldendale to check it out. It was a three and a half hour drive from Seattle and […]
une nouvelle playlist / une nouvelle liste de chansons
les mélodies pour mardi
Ici une nouvelle liste de chansons, je l’ai finalisé ce matin et j’écoute depuis le matin et toute la journée. J’adore “France” (bien sûr!) et “Runaway” – mais vraiment, j’adore toutes les chansons. Jouissez!
one car / public transport FTW
We have been a one-car family for nearly a month now. Truth be told, it’s not much to speak of in the Summer when the weather is easy and Husband is happy to bike every bit of the way to work. The weather is also very encouraging for The Kid and I to take the […]
on the water
A small handful of pictures from yesterday. Husband and I went on a boat ride for our *9th wedding anniversary and then grabbed The Kid to wander around Foster Island. (*That’s 10.5 years together, total, including an 8 year old son, if you’re counting!) You can see more “Summer in Seattle” photos here. Not really […]
dinner theatre / cabaret in Seattle
I don’t mean for this to be a “one against the other” kind of thing. I’m writing about The Pink Door and Can Can Seattle together because when I’ve mentioned Can Can to people in the past, they always respond by telling me that I should go to The Pink Door. They’re both located around […]
Une Voiture / aka “save gas, pedal your ass”
We are about to attempt a grand experiment. We are selling one of our cars, “my” car, and becoming a one-car family. It’s absurd to think of this as a big deal or as an experiment and yet, here we are. Living in the suburbs of America, of Seattle, it is sort of an experiment—especially […]
