I guess it’s the time of the year when I wish you a Merry Christmas! Or whatever it is you wish to celebrate (remember, for most of us, Europeans, Christmas is not a religious holiday, it’s a family, food and presents holiday). I wasn’t sure what picture to use to […]

Today’s Inktober drawing could be better, could be more detailed, but I simply didn’t have time, and as the week-end is coming I don’t want to fall too much behind again (unlikely I’ll draw anything for the next two days). I thought about something Tasty. I drew something tasty; a […]
Eating a French dinner, 10,000 kilometers from France is not always easy. My wife makes it possible from time to time. This was our Christmas dinner. It doesn’t look like much, but so far from home, it was priceless and unbeatable. Duck magret and fried potatoes. Probably my favorite […]
This one is pretty straightforward. Of course, my first thought hearing the word “roasted” was a chicken (gosh, I miss roasted chicken so bad), but as “chicken” is actually the keyword for Day five of this year’s Inktober, I had to think of something else. There is only one […]
So, this was my Christmas dinner: In case you’re wondering, here is what was on the menu : Duck magrets, aligot, Parma ham (I’m being told that the Italian term is used in English for some reason, probably sounds sexier than just “ham”, so I meant, prosciutto […]

When I lived in the US (and I assume for most American people) the word “ramen” meant very cheap, not necessarily healthy, but very easy to prepare noodles. Just like many college students it was a very important part of my diet for those reasons (well, at least the […]
Ah oysters! Or should I underline raw oysters? One of my favorite dish on this planet. One of the dishes I miss the most when I’m not in France (why are oysters so common in Japan, but raw oysters so rare?). The dish I eat pretty much every […]
About a year ago, I was ready to return to France for Christmas and New Year’s. As it was Winter, and it rained for pretty much the entire two weeks I was there, I didn’t do much (I mean, apart from being home and with my family) but eat. […]
