long and slow apples

Posted on 27/02/2013 by oneexpatslife

I was apparently pretty useless over the holidays and ended up missing quite a few French Fridays with Dorie recipes. Among them was this one, Long & Slow Apples. Not the most exciting sounding recipe in the world, but my … Continue reading →

2012 – a FFwD year in review

Posted on 24/02/2013 by oneexpatslife

Well, it’s February, and long past time for the ubiquitous year-end posts. Why am I even bothering at this point? Good question, and I guess the answer is that this is more for me than for you. I kind of … Continue reading →

Posted on 14/02/2013 by oneexpatslife
