About Me
- Mary Francine
- Actually, my name isn't Mary Francine. It's a more difficult, unique, unusual name that is often mispronounced. When I introduce myself, I often get, "What?" in response, which is disheartening. I like my name, but I hate that response. Someone once misheard it as Mary Francine, though, and that sounds as good as any nickname. :o)
Chinois! That is the second word your blog taught me. The first was mandolin. When I first read that Adam used a mandolin, I had the mental image of him pushing beets through the strings of his musical instrument. Turns out a mandolin is really a Veg-o-matic. Go figure!

ReplyDeleteBut your dear wife says 'chinois', that's where I learned it! We people who are not French do not know these things...
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure: I also had to look up empanadas. Found out in means enbreaded. Pan in Latin is bread, so it seems. So, I guess that is three words.
