Saturday morning on my way to class, I walked along the “Promenade des Anglais” (The English’s walkway) just to squeeze in a 90 minute walk for the week-end since I was going to be in class both days.

I like to read scientific studies where they find health benefits of the things I love, like red wine. I need to find some that look at the health benefits of eating French bread and good butter!!!! But anyway, I have written about the benefits of red wine before while at Sensei, and I am sure [...] Artichokes (Cynara cardunculus) have been cultivated in the south of Italy and around the Mediterranean since the XV century.

Every day I enjoy rediscovering my mother tongue. I have been studying and working in English for 27 years, so I have lost [...] Sorry, I haven’t been sharing for the past two weeks.

But the good thing is that all the governmental institution staff [...] |
