01/12/2003 Entry: "Frozen dinners"

I’m back to my staple of canned soup and frozen meals from Picard. I think I’ve had my fill of canned salsifis (tastes like white asparagus) , maybe I should get in the habit of dining out alone. I actually did so at lunch – gave in and tried the Hippo Grill (local brasserie chain), got the 12.90 Euro meal and had grilled chicken with fries, 3 scoops of ice cream, Coca Light and an espresso. Aah. Felt good to have a real meal again.

Went to the gym for some cardio – was trying out the new sneakers I bought at the Champs Elysées. (I slipped on some ice on my way to church, and concluded it was time to throw away my worn out sneakers and get a new pair.) I love the Aquaboulevard gym – it’s a 15 minute walk from my apartment, and it has a waterpark, driving range, tennis and squash courts, and really good classes.

Yesterday I tried to go shopping and see if I could find some great deals in the Soldes (big sale). I guess everyone else had the same idea because they were all shopping! It was hard to even get to the escalator. You’d think you could breathe much better in the Men’s department, but no, it was even more crowded there! They’re probably stocking up for the whole year!

Back to work again tomorrow. No surprises though. I’m still doing macarons. My team will actually be on French TV tomorrow (channel 1) at 1pm. It was shot 2 months ago so I won’t get my chance at international stardom. Too bad. We’ll all be at work at that time anyway, but Michel said he’s taping it. Great, I don’t have a VCR.

The Hippo, heh heh heh. That saved our butts a couple times in Lyon, when it was late at night and everything else was closed. Certainly beats Denny's...
