dear good people at kellogg's of battle creek,

about a year ago, my taste buds and i were walking, gingerly, among the good people of france, my original countrymen, when our shared bipedal locomotion system unexpectedly took us to a carrefour city market on avenue de la motte-picquet which seemed, at the time, no more or less enticing a mix of design, shopping experience and well-packaged foods aplenty than any other parisian suppliers of the time. ...

you love chicken. no, no, you loooove chicken... you can't live without it. crispy and tender at the same time, peculiarly bland yet unmistakably tasty, unquestionably vile and so ubiquitous as to believe them pet-worthy, especially cooked. you come to me with that love, to build you a home that celebrates your abominable passion for the game. my first decision, build an ...

mediterranean schmiet, the mini babybel was a whole food group on my pyramid growing up in france! there is nothing that little wax-encased bundle of fermentation could do for me to hate him it even though, right there, next to it on the plateau, laid far ...

of all the delicious pictures of global breakfasts taken by oliver schwarzwald, i have to, for once, award my compatriots, the gold medal for still incorporating the nicotine stick as part of this complete breakfast. we are true pioneers...

what? tostitos did something cool? let me take a look!...

brilliant minds need snacks, that's just science. which is why theaptFRIENDS at the brilliance have started a venture that is deliciously close to all of our souped-up brains, a review site url'd snaksnak. and they're just getting started! from the banal m&m's to the ...

it's going to be hard for me to top what my lovely brother sebastien is doing for his lady for valentine's day... sure, it was a bit preemptive on his part but that just shows the brand of evil he wields. above, a semolina gnocchetti with a jambo pesto. yeah, jambo's an herb from the amazon i couldn't even find in google... next up is anette-marinated salmon.



agrião salad, with cucumber and linen popcorn. which i don't understand and i don't dare to ask. then home-aged cheese with home-made apple preserve...


which is probably probably illegal in this free country. and finally some antipastos...

i love the idea of trial-sized wine, what better way to get slightly drunk on trains, think about it! and by slightly drunk, i mean full-out smashed because i have the alcohol resistance of a 7-year old somali orphan.

i bet george lucas kicked himself for not having been the first one to think about a line of star-wars-themed canned tuna, what a lost opportunity!

i would have loved for designer kossy aguessy to tackled the bottle itself instead of merely the cozy for pierre negreverne's 2 wine collection but i guess i'll take what i get. pretty much the way i feel at home when my wife doesn't shave her legs for a month, supposedly waiting for a "something special."

there's a dream i have, a dream that includes not only equal rights and a multitasking iPad but the ability to only eat foods that are in season. as the chart points out, it can be quite a challenge for not only must you be willing to make a butternut ...
