February 2nd is a fabulous French holiday called "Chandeleur." Why do they celebrate it? My roommate doesn't really know. But the important thing is that they eat crèpes. And tonight was a very important milestone in my life: I flipped my first crèpe ever. I was scared I'd drop it. Attempt #1 was a success in that the crèpe did not land on the floor~ but it folded in half, so not a complete success. Attempt #2 was perfection. Like a pro, prettymuch. Maybe I should just live in France for the rest of my life and get into the crèpe-making industry. Not a shabby idea! =)
PS. My roommate, Laurène, and I were discussing February 2nd holidays the other day. In France, they eat crèpes. In America, we have a groundhog that peeks out of his hole. I think we could do better.

Bonjour!!! Your blog is such fun! Being ever the teacher (!), I can tell you why February 2 is a holiday in France and the US. I love holidays that combine religion AND nature and old pagan customs and this is one of them. February 2 is the exact middle of winter (what a good reason to party!) So make a wish and flip your crêpe to chase those winter blues away -- spring will be here sooner than not! bisous, Madame
