If feels awkward talking about my trip to India, as I only visited the city of Bengaluru/Bangalore out of this large country. India is about one third the size of the U.S., but its population is estimated at 1.15 billion people compared to 310 million of people living in America. I don’t want to compare [...]

India has nothing to do with the Mediterranean, except that I am visiting India right now. Of course, as a Mediterranean diet promoter and dietitian, I look for similarities and differences with the Mediterranean diet. I see that animal protein is used in small amounts and that there are a lot of vegetarians and vegans [...] Two weeks ago I moved out of my ‘spacious’ apartment (450 square feet) with the magnificent view of Antibes and red sunsets. I only had rented that apartment as a seasonal rental, as it was difficult for me to get almost anything when I first moved here. And like some of the problems I had [...] For those who don’t know me well or haven’t figured it out yet; I am a foodie and in French I call myself a gourmet gourmande. Gourmet; because I know and appreciate ‘good’ food and ‘gourmande’ because I am excited about food and want some. It’s all about food for me; I am always looking [...] Last week I had to leave my dear Mediterranean Sea for a short trip to Paris. I was lucky to enjoy perfect weather while I was there.

I am a strong believer that there are good people everywhere and [...] This week-end marks the first wave of vacations for the French, as ‘school’s out for summer’. Already I could notice a lot more people on la promenade des Anglais and in Old Nice (Vieille Ville). Here in the Cros de Cagnes in Cagnes-sur-Mer; it’s a celebration week-end as we’re celebrating St-Pierre, the Saint of fishermen [...] I have to apologize again for not writing for a while. But when I finally sat down and looked back at the last time I apologized; it was because of paperwork I needed to get done. Guess what? It’s the same reason, again… Last week I finally decided to go back to the social security office [...] I like to read scientific studies where they find health benefits of the things I love, like red wine. I need to find some that look at the health benefits of eating French bread and good butter!!!! But anyway, I have written about the benefits of red wine before while at Sensei, and I am sure [...] Just came across this study about how a man can actually increase his chance of getting a girl’s phone number depending on the music playing in the background. I thought you may also find it interesting. The team of researchers was from the Université de Bretagne-Sud and the Université de Paris-Sud . Here is the abstract: “Previous [...] |
