3 months already...

Tomorrow will mark the day I arrived on the French Riviera, 3 months ago... It is crazy how time flies and things move along without noticing... though, if I stop and look, things have changed...  Life is simpler (unless you deal with French bureaucratie) and slower, yet I don't seem to stop all day!  When people ask me what I do, I say that I am my family assistant!  And really, it is true.

I now live with my mom and uncle.  Yes, I am almost 50!  And yes, I am here, living in the house my grand-father built 60 years ago.  I made my little nest and as long as mama bird lets me be, I fly in and out of it nicely...  Mostly, I stay in and when I leave, it is to see the rest of my family and friends from high school!

It's been wonderful in many ways to reconnect with all my cousins, aunts and uncles.  They are all amazing in many ways.  My cousins have taken after their dad and build beautiful flower creations.  Check them out on their instagrams roni_shops, roni_yacht, roni_floral_design.  I am in awe at what they do and so proud of them!!

As for cooking, I do it almost everyday at home.  Sometimes I take pictures but mostly I just do it, enjoy doing it without documenting it and everyone loves it!   I should be better about posting the recipes as well... I'll blame it on living in the moment, enjoying life and getting away from my computer...  but soon, I'll be getting ready to travel again...

American friends are coming and I look forward to exploring the places around me and a bit further... I invite you to follow me on instagram: califrenchcuisine and come along...

In the meantime, here are some random pictures from the last 3 months... not much, but I promise I'll be better on instagram...
