Today was probably one of the best days of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The king of rice puddings has been discovered!!!!!!!!!! Words can not come close to describing the joy I feel right now! Unfortunately, this probably means I'm going to get fat. Real fat.
Small warning when in France: Take caution when buying Garlic. I borrowed some of Pierre's garlic the other day (I'm sure he will read this so.... Thanks Pierre!) and it was no big deal. Same as the stuff at home. I hardly noticed its presence. But today, today was a completely different story. Half a clove minced and sprinkled on my salad had me crying, sweating, and desperately trying to force the greens, down the hatch. Never have I ever been so over powered by a food. If you can even call this a food! It was like eating some type of acid! I know your first thought must be that I am simply a wimp or some type of garlic light weight but I can assure you (with a very special girl back at home who can testify for me) that in my native land I am a clove consuming champion, a garlic gorging beast! But this is truly something else all together. Alas, I shall adapt.
If I conquer only one thing in France it will be the garlic.
Oh yeah, that face at the top is not a face of fear, It's my extream garlic/skiing face.

Hi Alex!
Great blog! Is it true no pb in France?!What the..?! Sounds like you're doing well despite what it must be like to acclimate to a new country. Keep up the work, you are making a lot of people very proud! Hey, if you lose your clove consuming garlic title you can always go for literary comic! Love ya! Deb Hall, Jeremy and Josh
