Morocco

March 28, 2008 by Andrea Leave a Comment

I’m off to Morocco tomorrow for a week. I’ve been looking forward to this for ages. It’ll be my first time in Africa, I can’t believe it’s taken so long to get there.

I got a cheap flight with EasyJet to Marrakech and will spend 3 days there before heading to Fes for a few days and then back to Marrakech to get the plane back to Paris.

I hope to see lots of new things like the souks, the mountains, the old cities with maze like streets, maybe some belly dancing and of course I’ll be drinking mint tea and eating tagines

Models – Out of Mind Out of Sight

This was one of my favourite songs when I was growing up. I loved the Models and used to listen to their record over and over again. I was crazy about the lead singer too, hehe. Thanks to Leesa for bringing back this great memory.

Pain au Chocolat

March 26, 2008 by Andrea 3 Comments

When I first came to France, I think I tried every type of cake (I didn’t like any of them) and did the rounds of all the local boulangeries to find the best pain au chocolat. It was a tough job but some pain au chocolat are definitely better than others.

Of course, after a while I got pretty sick of them and I hadn’t had any for more than a year. A long time, I know. So over the weekend I sent F out to get some and boy, what have I been missing! He managed to get some which were still warm so the chocolate was melted. Yum! What could be better?

Since then I’ve been trying different pastries but when they are cold, they’re just not that good. I wonder if I should just ask the boulanger what time they make them so I can get them fresh out of the oven. Would that sound desperate?

Why Do Men Die Younger?

March 18, 2008 by Andrea 4 Comments

My husband seems to think that men die younger because women never stop nagging them and the stress eventually gets to them. While that may or may not be true, I think this could be the answer:

Why do men die younger?
