This is going to be one of those catch all blog posts - food, French accents and of course, Ethan!
The Ethan part...Ethan is sort of going through a modesty phase lately and does not like being pantless or shirtless. If he is, he protests "no be sexy"!
The French accent part...my team works with a French company that has a lot of native French speakers. Everytime I break something, it usually means I get to talk to a French guy. Naturally I try to break as many things as possible ;) Honestly though, the guys I work with are just seriously nice and really helpful. One time relatively recently, I had a call with one of the French guys, Julien, and Ethan was home at the time. So Ethan got to say hi to Julien and he had a good time. I mentioned how much Ethan loved accents and Julien said something along the lines of "accents are sexy". Ethan naturally replied "no be sexy!"
The food part...Julien and I talk about food. Mostly cheese so far - we trade cheese recommendations (my favorite one so far has been pont l'eveque) and talk food in general. One day I was saying I was bored with the food I've been cooking and asked for ideas, and Julien suggested waterzooi. This is a Belgian chicken (or fish) stew.
I found a Julia Child recipe online (http://events.nytimes.com/recipes/8754/1987/05/17/Waterzooi-Of-Chicken/recipe.html) and made it for dinner last week - it was super yummy, even though I didn't have any eggs to whisk into the sauce at the end. It was a simple tasty chicken soup - thanks Julien :)
Here is a prep picture and a picture of the finished product.
