Week 26

I'm half way thru the year with Project 365. I've officially taken a picture every day (except two) for 6 months (or 26 weeks). Impressive!

June 26
We decided to overeat at McDonalds. It had been a while since our last visit to McD's so we went a little crazy. We got a Caja Grande, which is entirely too much food but we ate it all anyway. It was tasty...now we're fat!

Bill was playing with his remote controlled helicopter and the cat didn't like it. She was curious about it, but it kept moving around and chasing her. It was not her favorite toy.
June 28
Ubi got a new tick collar and we sprinkled tick powder on his bed...again. These ticks are being persistent and we really don't like them. We're doing our best to get rid of the disgusting little guys!
June 29
I'm planning a patriotic party for the 4th of July. I ordered all kinds of patriotic paraphernalia in preparation. Everything is red, white, and blue - it looks like Uncle Sam exploded all over our table!
June 30
Laundry day. I use the drying rack in the kitchen because nothing dries outside with all the humidity here!
July 1
We went to Pizza Hut - it was a bad experience. We waited over an hour for our food. When I finally questioned the waitress about it, she had clearly forgotten about us. She never put in our order. So, we waited another 10 minutes and then finally ate some mediocre pizza. At least the manager lady gave us two 15% off coupons.
July 2
We went to the 4th of July party at the embassy. It was good, with lots of traditional picnic/bbq food. But, the best part was the fireworks. They were really impressive, considering it wasn't a big event. We listened to patriotic music and watched them explode - definitely made us feel American!

Paris Food

I'm going to write a complete (and some might say "long") blog post about our trip to Paris, and I will even include pictures and video clips. But, I haven't been able to devote adequate time to it yet, so for now, I'm just going to show you our dinner pictures from Paris. Its bothering me that my "30 Days of Food" are incomplete, so I want to add the missing links. Here you go:

November 8
McDonald's on the Champs-Élysées (very classy!)


November 9
Ham & Cheese Baguettes
and for dessert:
Chocolate Crêpes under the Eiffel Tower



November 10
Provincial Soupe à la Tomate
and for dessert:
Petit Gâteau au Chocolat

BONUS:
I know I said I was going to post pictures of what we have for dinner this month, but I can't resist including a breakfast shot. Each morning in Paris, we went to a different cafe and got croissants, pastries, and coffee/hot chocolate and then we took our treats to a nearby park. The last morning was our only sunny day and we had the BEST croissants....I could eat them all day. I just had to include my favorite breakfast and our favorite breakfast spot!

I will finish up my complete trip report this weekend....stay tuned!
