Myth #9: China’s greenhouse gas emissions are about the same as America’s.

Water, water everywhere... (in Cyprus, anyway)
From This is Cyprus, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
As I type, it's pouring with rain. Again. It has been the most remarkably wet winter for Cyprus, and apparently the reservoirs are now at 50% capacity, which is very good indeed. Yesterday it was officially announced that water restrictions have been lifted. This isn't exactly news to me, since we've had continual mains water for the past ten days or so. Nice to have it confirmed officially, although apparently some people are unhappy at the announcement, since people are likely to become...

The Truffle Market in Lalbenque

Even though we live in a globalized world, I'm always surprised by how many people want to make or eat anything, and everything, no matter where they live. Whether or not it makes sense.
Take Parisian macarons. In the last year or so, they've become the new cupcake and not a week goes by when I don't get a message about someone freaking out and wondering why the top of someone's batch of macarons cracked, or where someone can get real, honest-to-goodness French macarons in Podunk....

For this blog I...

Overheard between a French husband and his American wife this evening: She (pointing to a red box with the image of a familiar, motherly-looking woman of color): "I made myself some pancakes for lunch this afternoon. A LOT of pancakes. And they were good. Even though they're not crepes." He (reading the box and mispronouncing the name): "Aunt JEM-in-a. Oh, that's like Uncle Ben's." She (rolling her eyes): "No, sweetie, it's Aunt Je-MIM-a. And no... Uncle Ben's had an...
