Day 28: or The Day I Think it Snowed

Ok, so it wasn't real snow, but it definitely wasn't rain. It's been hovering around freezing for a couple of days now, but because of the lack of sun, today seemed to drop another 10'. I had planned on going out for lunch, but the warmth of my room wouldn't let me leave. Plus, I was going out tonight, so I needed to rest up and save money.

For dinner I made a chicken and mushroom cream sauce with pasta and we had carrot and zucchini soup that I had made earlier in the day. I didn't exactly have a recipe for the sauce, but I'm pretty sure it was one of my best dishes to date. One of the girls was making fun of me for using garlic again. To me this is a silly, silly position to take on garlic. Garlic makes everything better. If i'm sautéing vegetables, garlic, and usually onion, are going to be added. Just like using salt and pepper. But seeing how they our views differ about that too, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. And as much as she made fun of me, she still enjoyed my food. So I guess I win.

I went out in Paris again, and am beginning to think I'm too old for this. We leave the house around 10:00 but the last train home is at 12:45. Because of this you end up taking the first train home at 4:45. This is not ideal for me. I would much rather be in bed hours before this, but because I am bound to the person who drove me to the station, I'm stuck. Lovely. I always have a good time and I like the people I've been meeting, but I feel like my weekends just start off on the wrong foot and I end up a little too worn out. All in all it was a good night and I met some new au pairs. I also decided to dress a little more for comfort and it was well worth it. My feet weren't frozen which boosted my enjoyment factor immensely.
