For breakfast:
A bowl of warm milk, with a handful of cereal. Yes, Erin, I pour the milk in first...
Lunch consists of usually leftovers if I'm at the house, which is most likely to be pasta. Some bread, some fruit.
For dinner, I try to shake things up a bit by making some foods we eat at home. The girls love taco salad and guacamole. But the dad loves his pasta... We will eat pasta about four times a week for dinner. And steamed vegetables, and bread... Though we don't eat a lot of meat.
And on the weekend, when I wake up before everyone else on Sunday to go to church, when I look into the fridge I will most likely find this staring at me:
Weekends are for eating fish, (yes mum, I rather like fish now) although waking up to this can often put ones appetite off.... My host mum has gotten in the habit of warning me when she puts fish in the fridge.
So French people are a little strange when it comes to eating (luckily my family is Italian), but well they cut their pizza up, and they can't eat spaghetti without cutting the noodles. And they will look at you strangely if you don't do that.
But Europeans have this habit of eating everything separately. Like in courses. We will dish up the first part of dinner, usually the pasta, eat that, clean our plate with a bit of bread (they hate mixing their food), dish up the vegetables, eat that, and finish with some cheese or fruit.
You know how uncle Duane eats ketchup with everything..? Well we eat oil with everything. On the pasta, on the salad, on chicken, on potatoes, on fish. Oil and Parmesan are a necessary condiment for the table.
Ok well now that I've made myself hungry... A bientôt!
