Today we picked cherries from our pastor’s tree! It was great, except now we won’t want to eat any cherries for the next WEEK.

Aix is pronounced just like the letter “x” — or as Carilyn says, “Like the “ex” in “ex-husband” or “ex-boyfriend”!”

Y’all need to stop having so much fun immediately, lest someone get hurt.

Also, I have to know — how do you pronounce Aix? In my head, it’s “ikes”. (Talk about a French misstep!)

Burning LAVA hot. But it wasn’t watery at all. I would guess from the flavor and consistency that it would cool down into a near-gelatin.

Funny thing, until a few years ago, a gelatinous soup would have freaked me out. Now a non-gelatinous soup just seems wrong.

hullo Kelly!

I have a culinary question: on the cosmic scale from gelatinous translucence to briccolo solidity, where does the soup fall?

Thanks for commenting, Dad! :)

Yes, the ladies are extremely short. Yes, the chef is French. According to him, it’s just “onion soup”. I’m pretty sure he would think it’s weird that I call it “French onion soup”.

Also, difficulteries is my favorite new word.

About your times:

08h00: Just a comment to say ‘Hi’.

10h00: Are these the same French ladies that come up to your belly button?

12h00: Isn’t it redundant to say a French man made French Onion Soup? Didn’t he have to do that?

13h00: Yes, I usually am up by then… and I love your mother too!

18h00 – 22h00: I don’t get to video chat with you enough!

00h00 – 24h00: My favorite time is not relegated to a specific hour of the clock. It is when God breaks through and I see/understand Him despite myself! It happens rarely but just enough to propel me on. Usually it is a combinaton of intellectual understanding of “Who he is/who I am” and deep emotion that make me unable to talk.

And lastly-
I don’t have the language/continent problem and still have difficulteries communicating with folks.

Whoa. That’s amazing! I’ve never heard of a restaurant doing that. Was the rest of the food good? We might have to take a road trip sometime in June…

We were in Tulsa this weekend and found a gem of a restaurant!

They had Real Butter! And not store-bought, but homemade butter. They whip up the cream and salt each morning and spoon it into little paper cups. It was divine. :)

Jessie and Jolly- thanks for adding things to the list! I guess next time I’ll have to make it a list of one food for each day of the month. I don’t seem to have enough spots for all of the foods that should be listed! :)

I really miss cheddar, by the way. And monterey jack, too. France has some great soft cheeses and really good goat cheese, but the only hard cheese my family eats is swiss. Not at all my preferred cheese.
