Hey guys! It has been a while!

Hi there! I don't know what happened but I wanted today to write a note on this blog... It was a part of a class at SOU which was really fun. I remember I had such a hard time understanding how Photoshop worked, but I liked the collage, the table of content, the book and so on, I wish I could have this kind of class in France!!
I miss SOU soooo much, people!
Here is a pic of me in Lyon, with my friend Laetitia, we were standing in front of the Louis XIV statue and kids were playing around. I am wrting right now from Provence, the sun is shining way to much, I have to study and that's just terrible to handle these spring temperatures when you have no right to go outside. But I feel like I'm connected with Ashland right now... Gosh, I love you Oregon, I miss you!

Over the rainbow...

Since my mind is in the sky, (and after listening the song "My dream is to fly") I searched a picture related to a rainbow. It was boring and fake pictures of a rainbow but when I found this "parrots rainbow" that made me smile. They look so nice and look like they are a family without understanding why they are so interesting (or maybe they are and are proud of it?)

It might be a photoshop picture too but the illusion is perfect to me; I love the last two parrots on the right, their color is awesome and they look a little couple.

It crashed...

Not too much to say except that my heart bleeds.

Qu'ils reposent en paix et qu'on ne les oublie pas.

Kabsaaa

Miam! (French people don't say "yummi"...)

This is one of my favorite dish ever: Arabic "Kabsa" (I am not sure about the spelling) It was cooked so many times by a friend from Saudi Arabia who is very talented, patient and generous. He can spend 4 hours in the kitchen cooking for 10 people; and the result is just amazing. He could have a business that he would become a millionnaire.

The rice becomes brown because of 15 onions. So many are required, first so you can tell your neighbors what you ate since you'll smell onion for hours, but also and above all because onions shrink tremendously. The three black pieces you see are Arabic lemons; I still don't get whether he bought them black already or whether it is cooking magic that gives that color.

And the chicken... Oh my god you would die for it; I'm unfortunately unable to describe which spices are used because they come from Saudi Arabia. They are unique and give a wonderful exotic taste. You appreciate even more because it is cooked by a generous friend and also because you have an Arabic experience: you are not expected to eat wit hands but you eat on a thin oriental "tablecloth" on the floor that you use once. Please don't forget Pepsi, (and not Coke, that's important to them) and you might find your way to paradise.
