I love our topics because it gives me a chance to research some of the questions I usually just blow off.  Like – What is the difference between an herbs and spices? In case you didn’t know, Herbs are the leafy and green part of the plant.  Spices are the parts of the plant that aren’t leafy,...

This trip, I rediscovered Paris and visited cities I had never been to before.  It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve been to Paris and a lot has changed while some of the basics remained...

About one and one half hour drive south of Bordeaux is the small city of Cognac.  The French country side is gorgeous!  Yellow flowers, blossoming trees, farmhouses and fields.  I see most of it when my eyes are open and...
