Just looking at this picture, I’d say it looked I just took a trip to my beloved Provence. But I did not. This was taken at the Getty Villa in California last week, in between two workshops. If I did not know any better I’d think these were shot right outside the window of the house where I grew up. Cherry blossoms. Figs just starting to budd. Olive …

I know I did not post a new French Word feature last week so I thought I’d bring you a little bit of Provence where I grew up by sharing these “Petits Farcis a la Provencale” or Provencal Filled Vegetables . To say that I could eat these all 365 days of the year is no exaggeration. Even when I am sniffling and coughing away as...
Every time I’ve looked out the window this week, I’ve felt a childlike glee at the sight of all the snow piled up. A whopping 18″ dropped in 24 hours last weekend, a few more inches covered that earlier this week, and more is in the forecast. I really sympathize with the folks further south ( south! ) who have had twice as much...
Ah the weekend! I love this time of year when we are all gearing up for the holidays and getting crafty . I’ve been quite busy with work which really feels like play so I am far from complaining but I have had little time to put together a proper post. It’s been over a week since I candied, shot and ate the kumquats in the picture...
Planning this edition of French Word a Week was a complete “house” collaboration this time around. My dad picked the word, my mom got tickled pink when I got her involved into styling the picture. What did B. do? What he does best: ate the props! A little family project is always a fun when there is French and English simultaneously...
In the midst of all the Christmas preparations in our kitchen and I am sure in yours, I wanted to take the time to wish you a very Merry Christmas and plenty of joy and happiness this holiday season. In my family we celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with two big dinners. In B’s family, it’s only Christmas Day. His is small-ish,...
If you were to visit our house right now, you’d be wondering if Christmas is really just a a week away. Oh, we have a small tree up in the living room but that’s about it. No present wrapped up underneath and a few of Christmas decorations here and there in the house. We have gifts almost all ready to go for everyone but we can’t...
I try to make fish at least once a week, it’s quick, healthy and light. This fast preparation is great for mid week, it couldn’t be easier to make, and you’ll love the simple flavor combinations. Make sure you use fillets about 1/2 inch thick, you could use sole, flounder, tilapia, or as in this case I used a pacific cod. Spread...
Almost a week without posting makes me feel like I am missing out on all the fun. Can’t believe February is over and gone. Makes me wonder why so much always gets packed into such a short month but I am relieved that all the projects have been completed and deadlines met. So, “Hello March! Let’s get going!” Yep, this month...
Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa De Chile Rojo and some Queso Fresco sprinkled on top. In case you’ve been wondering about the sporadic posts and lack of commenting, I’ve been in Asia for the past month. As much as I love the food of my homeland, eating nothing but Korean and Japanese food for the past thirty days had me itching for a...
Olive oil is growing in popularity in the United States. Sourced from the Mediterranean and part of that famous diet, it has been shown to be a healthy source of fat when compared to fats from animal sources. It is also more expensive to manufacture compared to canola and soy oils. Like wine, complex flavors abound, depending on the growing region,...

Berkeley Professor Improvises During Protests (PIC)
[People]
During recent student protests over increased tuition fees, protesters pulled a fire alarm, forcing students out of the building. But Professor David Tse still had a class to teach, and students who still wanted to attend. Undeterred, he continued his class right outside Evans Hall, using the wall as a blackboard. Bravo, Professor Tse!
