Silly idea?
March 23rd, 2011 | Rachel
Ever since I started this blog (three whole days ago), I’ve been thinking about what I would think of a blog created by someone living in France — or anywhere else, really — about their dream of moving to the U.S. and their obsession with American culture. I would probably find it to be rather silly. With that in mind, I assure you that I’m not going to simply list French things I like… a post on crepes, a post on Monet, a post on some other French cliche.
On the other hand, I live in New York City, and I am sure there are many people out there who fantasize about living here. Maybe someone even writes a blog about it. If you happen to be that person, 1.) I’d love to hear about it, and 2.) I’ve been here three years and I agree that New York City is dream- and blog-worthy.
Today I cashed in on a promised Christmas present of a cookbook and will soon receive a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Although Julia Childs was not French and although Slate thinks I can’t handle it, I hope I am advanced enough in my cooking skills to at least cook up a pot of boeuf bourguignon.
Honestly, I’d rather be in France.

Thanks for stopping by. We’ll eventually get into the details as to why I felt the need to start this blog and why I would rather be in France, but suffice it to say, I am a late twenty-something living in New York City. I have a corporate job, but I dream of moving to the french countryside and opening a bed and breakfast.
Hopefully you’ll follow along in this quest to fulfill that dream. I will be writing about travel, cuisine, real estate, culture, and general Francophilia. I promise it’ll be worth your while.
Thanks for stopping by!
