OH EM GEE.

how did i forget.

this news is not just a quick edit to a previous post or tack-on.

carmen made a crumble aux pommes et framboises. for all you ne parlez pas francais. that is a CRUMBLE with APPLES and RASPBERRIES.

so at first. i was peeking at it. as it cooled on the balcony outside the kitchen. then i admired the huge bowl of sugar and cherries just chillin' becoming jam. then i ate my dinner. still admiring both.

then carmen came in. i asked what the occasion was. she replied. no occasion. she just made it.

i like her, duh.

then she asked if i wanted any. no, merci. i'm fine. okay, she replied. and took the crumble with her. time passes, i come down to book my tickets to amsterdam. read emails. catch up on FB.

carmen comes back with the crumble. i keep working. i look up. there she is. a little bowl of crumble in hand and a spoon.

if you don't like it. si je ne aime pas. you don't have to eat it.

what a great homestay mommy. shout out to carmen. you're the bomb.com.

ps. i loved it. duh. SO GOOD. gahhh.
