pardon my french

in honor of bastille day i will list some of the best ways to enjoy french culture in america:

-buy lavender; fill a clear milk jar halfway to the top and place 5 stems of lavender in jar and set on your table.
-go into your kitchen, make yourself cafe au lait, then put a four rounds of chevre on sliced baguette and toast, drizzle with honey and enjoy them with dressed greens
-before you leave work, go to your local patisserie and buy two orange macaroons to share with your best friend, boyfriend, or yourself.
-wear a beret!
-drink french wine with a wedge of brie and toast drizzled with pistou
-smoke cigarettes on your fire escape while drinking Perrier
-google an image of the statue of liberty and cherish your independence

voila, mes amis!
