Hot?

Ok, don't know where all that heat went! It is now about 68 F here, certainly a huge summer surprise in one of the hottest regions in France.

Last night we ate at the Fischer Brewery restaurant. Simple stuff, Alsatian "pizza" called flamenkuch, or, "flame-cooked." Onions, sour cream, canadian bacon, and cheese on a very thin crust. If there is "thin and crispy" crust, this would be "thin and flimsy." I will try to have the recipe perfected for our visit next summer -- it's worth the trouble!

Secret revelation from a participant today -- "my dream is to work in America and to have a little house by the beach in California." Hmmm...reminds me of the guy in Red October "I would like to live in Montana, and have a Recreational Vehicle." For as much as people might criticize the US ...'Murka's got a good thing goin'!

Work soon. And yes, on the whole it's more than 35 hours a week.

John out.
