My blog is blushing Becky! Thanks for devoting an entire post to my little site, we are both very flattered :-) Most of my recipes are actually translations from Americaon ones. The butternut squah ravioli is from the september issue of Chow magazine (a fairly new food magazine) and the vanilla cake comes straight from "Cooking for Mr. Latte" by Amanda Hesser (a great, great read with excellent recipes). I really learned to cook in the US and I discovered many yummy foods thanks to Jonathan. Through my blog, I try to share my discoveries with the French, hoping to make them curious about "real" pancakes and "real" muffins. I think it works! One tip: if you click on the various links on each post, you might find an English version of the recipe. Hope you will try some soon!

One of the things I love about Estelle's blog--in addition to the recipes and pictures--is her perspective as a French foodie living in the US. I loved her post about <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=mozclient&#38;num=30&#38;u=http%3A//tetellita.blogspot.com/2004/11/index-de-mes-recettes.html" rel="nofollow">black bottom cupcakes</a>, in which she acknowledges that American really <em>can</em> make good desserts. At least, I think that's what it says. Sherri, an admin? Say it ain't so. Tom, I had not noticed the KOP remark–that’s pretty funny.

The "little college on the hill" has three types of folks on payroll: faculty, admins, and support staff (who used to be called "secretaries"). By that classification, IT counts as a subset of administration. Welcome to the club! Your university may have more categories at play, but in my world, Becky, you’re an administrator.

Uh, let me know how that <a href="http://tetellita.blogspot.com/2005/11/mon-gateau-danniversaire.html" rel="nofollow">vanilla cake</a> turns out, though, because it looks divine.
