So tonight is my host sister's big party where my host parents are chaperoning so I am all alone for dinner tonight! This means that I get to cook! Now my host mother also left a bunch of things in the freezer that I can reheat if I don't feel like cooking up something, but I think that I will enjoy actually working over a stove to prepare a dinner. I am thinking about a breakfast for dinner theme. I am going to make an omelet with lots of vegetables in it and no cheese and no runny eggs! I also noticed there is some whole wheat bread in the kitchen so I will toast that as well without butter!! I know to some of you this sounds like a really plain dinner and why would I make something like this while I was in France with access to all the wonderful cheese and bread in the world. Well I'll tell you, after eating in restaurants for three weeks, then coming home to the butter and bread household it's been really tough! I'm craving just plain vegetables still!! Tonight I was also invited to another American's host house for a crepe party. I think I will go just for desserts so that I am not missing out on a party nor on crepes, because the French crepes are so much more delicious!
My first week back has been very busy and I can't believe that I only have two more weeks here in Clermont and only one more week of intensive classes. I am starting to get ready to go home, but I am also going to be very sad to leave this place, I feel that my French has improved so much, but has so much further to go. I also have been thinking about summer opportunities in France, but I will have to see about school and timing.
So, I wish that everyone had a restful week, and is looking forward to the three day weekend in the States. Happy Martin Luther King Day!
Peace, Love and finally cooking again...
