Sappy German TV sounds really bad. Can't you watch something worthy on Arte instead?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569875381483495902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-5341295609670220292007-06-26T22:14:00.000+02:002007-06-26T22:14:00.000+02:00OK, that's one thing I won't budge on.

Yick!<BR/><BR/>(We seem to be on and commenting at the same time!)<BR/><BR/>No, of <I>COURSE</I> we don't have BBC! That would require an actual cable package. And we didn't get one in order to force us all to watch German TV. <BR/><BR/>Which I'm watching now in lieu of studying. A really sappy show that I already knew I'd regret watching even before it really got underway.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451957392894462983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-29021197084348873232007-06-26T22:11:00.001+02:002007-06-26T22:11:00.001+02:00I don't think we have a word for fromage frais in ...I don't think we have a word for fromage frais in English-- I know what it is but fell short of being able to describe it. Just like Kwark-- there's no real word for it is there?<BR/><BR/>No, no problem at all with kwark and chocolate as a snack. It just grated on my nerves every morning at breakfast because everyone had to comment: Where's the chocolate?

Do you get BBC1 or 2? There's a thing on about Paris now, which is quite informative and entertaining.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569875381483495902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-34972788017303159362007-06-26T22:04:00.000+02:002007-06-26T22:04:00.000+02:00Uh huh.

I forget the Dutch word. Probably 'fromage blanc'! Oh wait, plattekaas, I think. You know, kwark. Do you have something against plain dark chocolate and fromage blanc as a snack?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569875381483495902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-67548225763475053002007-06-26T20:55:00.000+02:002007-06-26T20:55:00.000+02:00Is it really?
