Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Christmas Baking




We spent the weekend baking for the holidays. We made a stollen-like bread in which we used walnuts instead of almonds thereby giving it a different taste from stollen but still delicious. We made pizzelles, RXC's Aunt May's jelly roll cookies, rum balls, pecan crescents, and dried fruit blondies. We also made spiced nuts. Everything is so delicious I wonered why we don't make Christmas cookies all year round?
