About

For those who are curious, my user name comes from my dad.  He would always make the comment “We’re having that French Cooking again.” whenever I would make dinner as a child.  I started cooking at a young age and made my first full meal on my own at the age of 11.  I enjoyed watching Julia Child on public television as a kid and I vastly despised the plain old meat and potatoes routine.  And so, my user name was born . . . long before blogs, and even before the internet.

I enjoy reading, cooking, knitting & crochet, camping, hiking and travel in general.  Autumn is my favorite time of year.  Washington DC is my favorite city that I do not live in, but not for the politicians.  More for the ease of getting places and all the free museums, the green spaces are nice too.  Give me lilacs, daisies and chrysanthemums, roses are too stuffy. 

“I do not have a psychiatrist and I do not want one, for the simple reason that if he listened to me long enough, he might become disturbed.”  James Thurber

Enjoy my musings.
