Bordeaux Living

Dinner at Lauren's

Lauren had us over for dinner on Thursday night. We are going to try to make it a weekly rotation. College students abroad trying to host a dinner may sound a little terrifying, but I see it as a learning experience. Luckily, if the food turns out bad, the wine is almost always good. It's a win win.

Poulet à la crème. mmmmmmm.

Belly full I walk home slowly and took some pictures of my street at night.

Grocery Shopping

Last week I posted about how we discovered this overpriced, nevertheless amazing, asian supermarket. All week I was itching to return after googling some recipes. (New favorite website: www.allrecipes.com You can save your recipes all in one place! Genius, I tell ya.) We woke up bright and early and made the trek out to no-man's-land Bordeaux. Boy, was it worth it.

As promised, I took as many pictures as I could remember.

Around Town

On the walk home from my tram stop, I took advantage of the dry weather and snapped some more shots.

In the Kitchen

Marina and I have been trying new things to remind us of home. Last week it was pancit. My French mom Joana was in love. It was almost, almost I said, as good as grandma's.

This weekend we tried carrot cake. Unfortunately, it was not just like grandma's! I don't know what we were thinking. We should have started with something basic like chocolate cake, actually maybe cake in it's entirety was probably out of our league. I mean, you've gotta walk before you run. Silly girls.

Erasmus

We ditched our failed carrot cake and headed to the welcome back erasmus party. With 3 euro mixed drinks how could you go wrong? Don't worry it was a Saturday ;)
