The Franco-files: September 2008
http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. So, I've been a bad, lazy blogger recently. Sorry! I'll try and do better. Once again, it's been a week, and I've done a lot. Here's a quick run-down:. Weekend trip to Giverny (Monet's house and garden) and Rouen (where Joan of Arc was burned, also home to an amazing gothic cathedral). In short, absouletly incredible and gorgeous. I took 160 photos, mostly of flowers (heh). I'll upload some of the good ones tomorrow. Saw a play, Du Cristal a la Fumee. Links to this post. But I...

The Franco-files: Epicurean
http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008/12/epicurean.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. On Monday I had my last Theatre class, finally gave my presentation, and then went with the class to our last play of the semester. It was L'illusion Comique. By Corneille. It's about a man who has lost his son, and goes to a magician for help. The magician says he will show the man his son, but what he actually shows him is a second play within the play! Then the actors of the play within a play begin a third play! Chestnut and Fennel Soup. Recipe by Thierry Chaney). Dissol...

http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008/12/tomatoe-and-smoked-salmon-quiche.html
Saturday, December 6, 2008. Tomatoe and Smoked Salmon Quiche. My quiche was a hit! So, I decided to post the recipe I made up. Everything is in metric (sorry! But if you wanted to make a 9-inch quiche you would divide the ingredients in half and leave everything else the same. 28-32 cm pre-made pie crust. 5 eggs (yolk and white). 1 petit-suisse yogurt (60g). 4 slices of smoked salmon. A handful of grated cheese. 1) Pre-heat oven to 180. 2) Press crust into 32cm pie tin. December 9, 2008 at 2:29 PM. Chron...

The Franco-files: Veni, Vidi...Vino?
http://franco-files.blogspot.com/2008/11/veni-vidivino.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Veni, Vidi.Vino? So my Thanksgiving pecan pie turned out really well. And a close up:. Despite all of my reservations, people really liked it! I got a lot of compliments on it, I was even told it was the best dessert of the night! My cranberries on the other hand.didn't turn out so well. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, I just didn't make them far enough in advance, and so they didn't have time to gel. Oh well, they made a nice salad dressing. The first is a rose from B...

Design Patois: December 2010
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. Sol LeWitt still gives - The Shul print. December immediately brings to mind giving. The late Sol LeWitt was an active member of the Chester community. He was extremely generous to so many people. When I visited the Chester Gallery recently (one day they will. Have a website) owner Sosse Baker showed me the "Shul print." The Chester Gallery is selling a limited edition (175) print framed or un-framed. Proceeds will benefit Congregation Beth Shalom. Posted by Jil Nelson.

Design Patois: Dalton Ghetti -- Graphite Guy
http://designpatois.blogspot.com/2010/10/dalton-ghetti-graphite-guy.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Dalton Ghetti - Graphite Guy. On a recent visit to the New Britain Museum of American Art I came upon three framed pieces of Dalton Ghetti's amazing carved pencils. The focus of the visit was to see the Escher exhibit (which was fascinating) after which we decided to look at the contemporary art galleries. Poking around, I was surprised to see Ghetti's work. I ran to my friend all most yelling. "He's here, the pencil guy! They are not for sale. But . . . Posted by Jil Nelson.
