It's out there somewhere. Whether raw and bloody in the humblest roadside café or crowned with foie gras in a Michelin starred restaurants, steak frite is the official comfort food of France. The plat du jour that never fails to satisfy, the benchmark by which all restaurants can be measured - if they can’t cook a steak frite what hope is there for a saffron scented rissotto? Let the quest begin. Tuesday, 12 February 2008. Le Bistrot Decouverte - St Remy. Two months later the restaurant is out of busines...

Musings from Red Bell Farm: Red Bell Farm
http://redbellfarm.blogspot.com/2008/03/red-bell-farm.html
Sunday, March 9, 2008. Perhaps you don't know this about me, but I like to name the places where I live. My home after I was divorced was 30 acres, a house and a barn in rural Lafayette, Colorado. The first morning I lived there I got up and roamed the property. Winding along an old fence was a lovely old-fashioned yellow rose. I named that place "Yellow Rose Ranch.". I came to my Iowa acreage in June 2003 determined to find a very romantic name for my property. I've always loved the word 'P rairyerth.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. The Choice is Made. A couple of weeks ago I blogged. About the photos that I was looking at trying to decide which ones to send Laury for the August 28th. Here is my submission to the. It's hard to get the same look as they will have in Laury's. Where they will be hung against a gorgeous stone wall and lit from above. I also haven't quite decided if this is the order they should be in; I think I'll let Laury and Patrick. Links to this post. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Cadrieu won ou...

Musings from Red Bell Farm: Shifting Gears
http://redbellfarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/shifting-gears.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. Lots of things remain on my 'to do' list as I get ready to fly to France on Sept. 22nd. I'm already beginning to shift gears mentally, though, as I let go of my American lifestyle and get ready to embrace a totally French one. I'd invite you to jump over to Melanged Magic. You can always wait for the bus! Some things I won't be buying.tortillas! I don't remember ever seeing them anywhere. I also don't drink pop in France. Too pricey, especially when wine is SO cheap! Only an ...

Saturday, January 23, 2010. Happiness Is a New Washing Machine. I'm sitting here listening to the gentle hum and swish of a load of whites washing. It's a sound that hasn't been heard at Red Bell Farm since last August when my washing machine quit agitating, spun itself into a frenzy and spewed water all over the floor! Links to this post. Labels: Red Bell Farm. Friday, January 22, 2010. If you've read this blog regularly, you've already seen two pictures. Of the note's author, Christiane. She and her hu...

http://redbellfarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/getting-from-here-to-there.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. Getting From Here to There. Then I have to drive a strange car from the northeast outskirts of Paris to the southwest suburbs to connect to the A20 autoroute that will take me to points south. Throw in confusing French signage, a foreign language, and who knows what else and you have all the ingredients for disaster. Laury to the rescue! She's making plans right now to take the midnight train to Paris, connect with the RER to the airport and meet me on arrival! What I Blog About.
