Halo,

Good to see you. So sorry to hear they're discontinuing your curry paste. Is it a vendor decision or is the manufacturer no longer going to make it? If it's just the store then you might find it elsewhere by asking the manufacturer where it's stocked.

I regularly have my parents send me Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili mix because I've never been able to find it in California. The only stuff they've got here in LA is some Carol Shelby stuff that's frankly not worth the bother.

Hey that's me! that's me! I know more than how are you in french! See?

Ou est le drapeau?

I think it's about the only thing i remember from french class...not that it often comes in handy...

Asseyez-vous!

That was the other oft-heard expression in my 5th grade french class.

Well, on Saturday I'm off to NZ with two very dear friends who speak no English to speak of... so to speak.

Should be a lot of fun.

(I've billeted them with a friend who teaches French at high school.)

13665. Jenerator - 2/3/2005 7:12:20 PM

Take me with you.

13666. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 7:16:26 PM

Where is the curtain?

13667. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 7:18:25 PM

What curtain, Jen?

13668. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 7:19:08 PM

Ali, will you be in touch with us during your vacation?

13669. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 7:32:06 PM

"Ou est le drapeau?"

isn't that "Where is the curtain?"

13670. PelleNilsson - 2/3/2005 8:00:15 PM

And where is the curtain?

13671. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 8:06:40 PM

Ce n'est pas un "curtain".

Le drapeau est ici.

13672. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 8:07:51 PM

"Où est le drapeau" = Where is the flag? "Où est le rideau?"= Where is the curtain?.

13673. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 8:21:09 PM

Ignorez l'homme derrière le rideau.

13674. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 8:50:40 PM

Ah! The Great and Powerful Oz!

13675. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 9:09:25 PM

Ignorez l'homme derrière le rideau.

Absolutely, he is about to pounce on you when you get ready to go to bed.

13676. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 9:41:27 PM

wizard of oz is one of the best movies ever made, imho.

Though it's really really hard to pick a best....casablanca, gwtw...

13678. alistairConnor - 2/3/2005 11:42:57 PM

Take me with you.

No trouble Jen... rendezvous in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. any time between 6am and 9pm.

Yes we have a 14 hour layover... we're going to hit the town.

13679. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 11:45:55 PM

safe travels, ac

I have a job if I want it, but I am still thinking the offer. If I take it, it means that I will have five large classes, two French and three Spanish, 11 and 12 grades. I am not discussing this yet with Flexy-- I have to decide if I want to be away from him for five months during the day. The school principal wants me to start in the morning—that is how urgent he needs someone to replace the teacher. I talked to an ex-colleague who says that the teacher is not coming back—he has been put on emergency leave, but it is over for him in that school.

Well, I guess I have to wait until Flexy is finished with the news and look at his expression when I tell him the news. He is doing so well now and without bragging too much, certainly in part due to my constant presence. I talked to his daughter and asked her if he ever talks about having me around sometimes. She said-- he loves it, he has never been so happy.

In the meantime, I am thinking...
