In the recipe department: we're in Charleston this week, making the newly hip 'paté of the South'. <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SouthernFriedFrench/~4/xdezl4pOYpM" height="1" width="1"/>

This one is for couples who are learning a language together. A good idea, but you may need some advice, or even a bit of marital intervention.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SouthernFriedFrench/~4/Q8PGqJmFQZ8" height="1" width="1"/>

Want to have a truly bizarre experience? Go shopping in the ethnic section of a French supermarché, and you’ll find international products---from the states! Can you guess what's there?

The Provence of dreams: a cheerful, colorful bistro in a charming little village, a sunny terrrace, and exceptional wine. Can we find that ideal French Moment?<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SouthernFriedFrench/~4/pIgZbEhMKd0" height="1" width="1"/>

Does anything visually capture the spirit and beauty of France better than their doors? Here is a collection of photos, taken in several corners of France including my own, that tell a story. <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SouthernFriedFrench/~4/gCinFjPPmM0" height="1" width="1"/>

Take a French lesson, learn a little something about life, and wash it all down with ‘chocolat’ and eggnog. How great is that?<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SouthernFriedFrench/~4/I9ZjvG8Gu4w" height="1" width="1"/>
