Another great newsletter, mon amie (even though it's not cool to say that, so I'll say ma biche!!) Beautifully designed (mais, bien sur!) and such great content! Love living vicariously through your adventures!

Hi Karen, it’s such fun hearing how your new life is going. It seems like you are a natural Frenchy!

Hope you are going to the Netherlands while the Olympics are in progress. Enjoy your summer!

Hi Karen! I treated myself to a box of special tinned fishes from Zingerman's in Ann Arbor recently, and I'd love to see the full recipe for your pasta creation! xoxo

J'adore! I'm so glad to know about the baguette stamps. Thank you for the PSA. Too much time with flashcards and maps made me giggle. I've never become a sommalier but learning french required trays and trays of flashcards. If you haven't read the fluff memoir, Paris, My Sweet, by Amy Thomas, I would suggest it as a quick summer read. Its written by a New Yorker who transferred to Paris for work and then studied all the pastry shops and bakeries in Paris. You'll have long lists of places to visit on your weekends although you might need to buy bigger belts.
