But speaking of bikes, I feel I should give a progress report. I am improving! Not only am I feeling much more comfortable getting on and off my bike, but excepting a rather embarrassing mid-intersection wipeout with R's mom the other day, I have managed to go to gym (ha!), the train station, R's parents' house, and the town centre (yes I know I'm not british, but in the case of town centre/er, "re" just looks better), without falling or in any way humiliating myself. I am quite proud.
I am also rather proud of my developing skills in domesticity. Since moving into this apartment, I have cooked a number full, nutritious (and some not so nutritious) meals for two. Nothing has burned (sauf some toast I forgot in the broiler), turkey jerky has not made an appearance (for those of you who know me well...), and I have not, I repeat, have not, resorted to pasta. Victory! Since I have next to nothing to do while R is at work all day, I often find myself looking at foodnetwork.com, as well as various food blogs. Chocolate&Zucchini is one of my favorites. Interesting recipes, Paris commentary, and measurements in grams and milliliters. I have five more days here, and then it's off to an oven-less apartment in Paris, so I'm going to try and bake as much as possible before I leave. Tonight, for example, I shall try the toffee crunch caramel cheesecake.
