More Random Musings

I've given up on trying to update this thing diary-style and in chronological order of events. Get ready for a very short and disjointed post to match my very short attention span and disjointed thoughts right now.

I took this picture on the walk from Gare d'Austerlitz to the Grand Mosque de Paris where I had dinner with a bunch of other BC kids. I had the "tagine agneau" or lamb stew served in a "tagine" clay pot. soooooooo yummyyyyyy. There were a bunch of these signs posted on fences and walls that said things like this. "I could never forget you." "I love you." I wonder what the story is behind it...

I'm currently working on a paper about the ideology of the model minority. I think I'm going to argue that it requires assimiliation by the minority into the larger national culture which could lead to the disintegration of the minority ethnic culture and the formation of a monoculture... Sound good???

Also, I pledge to always do my dishes after I cook at home from now on.

Random Musings on Life in Paris

For whatever reason, potatoes and garlic seem to sprout here. I assume that means theyre overripe? but I really have no idea. Anyway, I know my dad would scold me for saying this, but I think sprouting potatoes are pretty gross. That's not to say that I wouldn't eat them. I just plucked/cut all of these sprouts off, made a big batch of yummy roasted potatoes and froze them. That being said, I wasn't at all annoyed when a new batch of my potatoes started sprouting two weeks later and one of my roommates threw them out without saying anything to me.
