Can't stand home frangrances and most scented candles are just not my thing. I swear by papier d'armenie. It is a deordorizing incense paper that smells lovely and smoky but never lingers too long. Otherwise, I love woodless Japanese incense, very delicate. The Fragrance of Home: Making Sense of How Your Home Smells |

When I first moved to France I remember the kid in me having a field day when I saw how many chocolatey things were available here for breakfast. Now it just seems normal to me. I love some dark chocolate chopped and sprinkled on a good bowl of oat meal, but just a tiny bit - a little goes a long way. Chocolate For Breakfast: Inviting or Overly-Indulgent? |

Another vote for a pressure cooker week. Here in France it is THE appliance gifted to all young adults leaving the nest. Everyone loves them here and I am getting to love the one my belle lère gave to my partner and that he never touched! ^^ Definitely great for beans and stock - I've also had delicious meat dishes cooked just from the recipe book that came with the cooker!

Any information on whole (aka uncut, unrolled) oats? I live in France and can only find quick cooking in the British foods section of our hypermarché or whole, uncut oats at the organic co-op... I'd like to give the whole ones a try but don't know anything about them! What's the Difference? Steel-Cut, Rolled, and Quick Oats |

I've been making a version of this salad for a while and love it. My tweaks: adding toasted sunflower seeds and dried cranberries to the salad and a mix or orange and lemon juice to the dressing (instead of vinegar). So good! Recipe: Root Vegetable Slaw With Orange-Cumin Dressing |

Another Camembert recipe (savory) I've picked up here in France, is Camembert rôti. Roasted Camembert served with potatoes and a thick slab of bacon (lard, in French) and sprinkled with lardons. Served with salad with a nice vinegary dressing to counter the fatty cheese and lots of country bread to dip with! Beyond Baked Brie: New Uses for a Wheel of Cheese |

I'm with ya mintychip1; I'm #7 on the list - the overcrowded utensil drawer. My only drawer in my lil eurokitchen. Looking for ideas about this too because its a furnished rental.
