I have been puttering in the kitchen a bit, but what I've been preparing is fast and mundane and not blog-worthy: Broccoli-cauliflower salads, tossed salads with whatever is on hand, roasted chicken with rice.
I sneaked home for lunch the other day and tossed some lettuce in a bowl, along with some thin slices of red onion, a doze grapes and a few mandarin orange segments.
Simple. Good. But maybe not blog worthy.
I have been spending a lot of time online, dreaming. Not only have I been yearning for travel, but I've been looking back to other times, simpler times. It seems to me that there are many, many signs that we are headed in the wrong direction on many levels. Way to much hatred and bitterness than is healthy for a country.
I've come to the conclusion that growing when I did was a good thing. From the comments I've read online, it seems a lot of us feel that way.
The photo was taken at the Village St. Paul in Paris. It was taken in spring and it looks springy.

In the past few days, I've definitely had thoughts of running away to some place that looks just like this one. Our country is in a bad frame of mind right now.
The 24 hour news cycle seems to intensify all the negative rhetoric. I'm trying to tune out more often. Love the looks of that shop.
I know just how you feel Mimi. Sometimes I want to yell stop the world, I want to get off!
It's during times like this that eating simply is probably the best medicine. Don't worry about the recipes - those who love you will follow you regardless.
Ah, Village St. Paul. That lovely hidden treasure alone would get me back to Paris.
Mimi, I think you're preaching to the choir here. I too, am grateful to have been born when I was, even if it makes the current times more painful to watch. "Civilized"... what a lovely word...
Sometimes (often) I don't mind living out here in the back of beyond. And I really don't miss American television with it's constant over-hype of everything.
Do you know, I just yesterday learned what a 'cougar' is? - I heard the term on an American TV show and had to look it up on the net......

Hi Mimi, I think a lot of us have similar feelings at times~you have so many wonderfuf memories of France to keep you going.... I do hope you are able to get back there soon and make some new memories.I wish I could pack you in my suitcase! Love this picture,a beatiful spot with such lovely things to look at....
Yes, a longing for more simple times when we weren't so busy trying to get ahead of everyone else no matter how hard we stepped on them on the way up. AND yes, time to return the kitchen...
But, even after a long absence, coming here is a little bit like taking a Parisian vacation.
I'm trying to piece together a simple, not too expensive family vacation for the summer. It's quiet in the house as I'm the only one here at the moment. So, that notion of finding a place to get away from, well, whatever, is very much on my mind. For me, and I suspect a lot of people who frequent Mimi's blog, the place that comes to mind first is the kitchen.
