Steve jokinging-ly implied that we were too busy striking to blog, and while that's not exactly true, don't you wish you were in France right now? Tuesday was the official start to the 'unlimited' strike, but by Wednesday the metro had more or less returned to normal. I don't have any connections to get to work, just one long train ride, which means that I don't usually have any problems (knock on wood). Erik was however takes the RER B to work, and it always strikes first and the longest. It kept up the fun all week. My favorite slogan for this whole strike has been 'greve jusqu'a la retraite' which means strike until retirement. Fun. It will be interesting to see how this mess pans out, but until then, I think we can anticipate some more crowdy metro trains.

Speaking of Steve, he and Yosimi have recently moved to Canada, and Yoshimi has started her own blog over at yoshimiandsteve.blogspot.com. It's in Japanese and English, but Yoshimi takes great pictures, so you shouldn't have any trouble following along.

In other exciting news, life around here has been pretty straightforward. I've been cooking a lot on weekends, so instead of boring you any more with the mundane details of our daily lives, I thought I'd leave you with some links to the tasty stuff we've been eating.
I made this Pumpkin Olive Oil cake this morning to use up the pumpkin left from pie making last weekend. Yummy!
Along the same lines, I made this delicious Zucchini Cake a couple of weeks ago, and keep looking for excuses to make it again.
We had this mushroom lasagna for dinner last Sunday and it was a very satisfying meal, and we're looking forward to pulling the leftovers out of the freezer soon.
Happy cooking!
