Last Week Here

So it's my last week here, and because I thought i had a lot more work than I actually did I'm finished with all my final papers! It's very exciting, but it's also making for a very boring last week. That being said, I've been home and had nothing to do so I've been helping my host mom make dinner the past few nights. Last night she showed me how to make poached eggs, now I have never eaten a poached egg, let alone made one. It was an interesting experience especially when she said "now you put it in the microwave", wait what? Yes that is correct, she cooks her poached eggs in the microwave. Her secret is to put boiling hot water into a microwave safe bowl, add some vinegar, crack the eggs in and put them in the microwave!
We had this with pasta and a tomato cream sauce, considering I had pasta that day for lunch it was still pretty good. Although the egg had a strange texture, I was able to eat it the same time as some tomato pieces and it wasn't that bad, I might even try this method in the states to put it on some bruchetta!
In other French-y news, I am planning on what to bring home from France in terms of food. I have already decided to being home an entire wheel of cheese from this region (TSA says it's ok!). Also I'm going to try and smuggle two loafs of bread into my luggage. I am not sure how this is going to fare and if there will be crumbs everywhere in my clothes, but I figure I'm going to be washing them as soon as I get home anyway, so no big deal - right?
If any one has any other requests for French goodies please let me know!
Today is a relaxing day and right now I'm just trying to decide where to eat lunch - I'm thinking Indian?
