Mom, you'd be proud!

So, Winston and I spent the day shopping- but I didn't buy anything! It was crazy.. This week in Paris is like Black Friday, because EVERYTHING is on sale. Everything. I got to go to H&M and a ton of other stores; it was really nice, but super busy. Winston had to buy some gifts for his family in California. We walked past the Louvre and saw some really amazing art galleries. But, the story for tonight is that I finally got to cook!! I decided that because the people that I am staying with aren't making me pay rent that I would buy some really good food and cook. On the way home, we stopped at a fish market, and being the Alaskan that I am, I bought a ton of salmon. I grilled it with some rosemary, basil, and seasoned olive oil and then I topped it with a sauteed salsa of fresh tomatoes, kalamata olives, shallots, onions and fresh basil. So good. It was perfect, so Mom, thanks for teaching me how to cook. It's allowing me to stay in a really safe home. :) I should have taken some pictures, but I forgot.
We also drank some dellllllicious wine. So good. I don't know how I'm going to adjust back to life in Alaska, not being able to buy wine. Ugh.
But anyway, I'll post some new stories later tonight. My creative juices have been flowing! Lots of love.
