When folks ask me what the French do for Thanksgiving, I don’t think the word they’re expecting to hear are “Um, nothing.” And why should they? It’s not as though America shuts down for le 14 juillet. Still, a few places around here do get into the spirit and you’ll see a few bags of cranberries at the market, a few more sweet potatoes piled…
For a recent talk where I was asked to give for newcomers to Paris, I decided to share some of my coping strategies for living in a foreign country. I came up with a list of eight things that I do when it all seems too much. Like this morning, when I woke up and found that before I hit the “Save” button and called…
我是酒吧的忠实粉丝。不仅是因为我不想做的，也不愿在玻璃杯或锅里饮用的大量葡萄酒中工作，而且是因为它们是巴黎最愉快的饮食场所。随着夏天的到来，带来温暖的天气和更长，更长的日子，我发现我对……

Sometimes I go back into the archives and pull up a post to refresh it. Perhaps the hours have changed, they’ve moved, or something else prompted me to tweak the entry.
