How do you like your eggs?: with potatoes and cheese, in omelet

How do you take your coffee/tea: coffee, as prepared at work, black, no sugar. Or cappuccino if available. Tea, strong, black, no sugar, maybe with honey.

Favorite breakfast foods: No breakfast, but a massive bowl of milk with cereals is nice. Plus another helping of cereals. And a rhubarb jam tartine.

Peanut butter: the original, the dutch one. The Calve brand, and none of that american stuff. But not more than a tea spoon a month.

You feel like cooking. What do you make?: A salad, with what's in stock.

Do any foods bring back good memories?: Yup, Nems will always remind me of my regular visits to the Hopital pour Enfants Robert Debre. Not actually a good memory, but the meal afterwards meant I could forget it until the next visit, 6 months later.

Do any foods remind you of someone?: Rhubarb jam, noone does it like my father, noone. Creme Peruvienne, my father's mother. Scenery inspired birthday cakes, my other grandma... Lots

What was your favorite food as a child? Ask my mom, I wouldn't know.

You're on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on? Not applicable

"t'es un adulte, maintenant"

Following Apol's Le LTO post about her having received her driving licence, I've managed the feat of not scaring the daylight out of my inspector and thus, I have officially been stamped [approved for driving].
I need to return to the driving school on monday or tuesday to get the yellow paper that gives me the right to drive until my official driving licence is processed.
I have now been accepted as an "adulte" by my fellow coworkers.

And I'm in the process of finding both the insurance and the car, and of celebrating. Happened thursday night at my company's quarterly meeting, yesterday, at a street performers' gathering with a friend and one of her friend, and tonight, with yet other friends.
Damn, life is tough...

yup, I'm officially grown up!!!

Yesterday, I had officially worked for 3 months with my current employer.
Meaning, under the french legislation, that I am now a fully-fledged undismissable salaryman. Yay!!
So I decided to offer myself a worthy gift. Dream, think... A car, a computer, a bike, new clothes, another hat... Nope. A beer, a restaurant, a movie, a concert... Nope. A vaccuum cleaner.
And a movie.
I'll pay myself a restaurant this week end, maybe. If I can be accompanied. The machiavelic plan I've just fomented would be to invite cute coworker to a japanese I want to try, and keep the boyfriend at bay. Would be a nice replacement for the circus that sold out for this very saturday :D and which boyfriend didn't want to see. Hmm, sounds good!!!

Driving exam is postponed to sept, 21st, btw.

Nothing else to report, that I know of.
