The Best Flip Flops with Toe Sox
February 11th, 2020 · No Comments
My havaiana flip flops are the best because they’re not slippery when wet–so important for stepping around fast, not to mention safety. This makes havaianas worth the extra money for a no-frills flip flop. I like the thinner, slim, style because they walk faster. I like the havaianas better than fancy flops that have arch-supporting molded soles. I wear my havaianas inside the house and out. When it’s cold I use injinji toe sox. injinji has the best fit–the toes don’t pop off. Yea! My size havaianas are marked 37/38, USA W 7/8, and EUR 39/40 (three size markings) and I often take a size 8 or 39 in shoes or clogs. My injinji sox are unisex size M (women’s 9 to 11.5) or women’s size M (9 – 12)–perfect!

Trapped in her Life, Joan Didion Lies in Bed with a Migraine
September 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Like Joan Didion, I used to get migraines.
For me, it was the kind of migraine when you’re so nauseated that you vomit. It was when I was married, or rather living with my baby’s father.
I felt trapped.

“I don’t have time to be married!” wails Julie in Julie and Julia, a movie about Julia Child and devote Julie Powell. What Julie really should have cried, was “I don’t have time to work all day at my stupid government job!”

Eat for Pleasure with Mireille Guiliano
August 6th, 2009 · No Comments
As I was browsing my garden for strawberries just now, I remembered Mireille Guiliano’s number one rule: Excellent food only! In her book French Women Don’t Get Fat Ms Guiliano tells us that fresh in season food satisfies the appetite. You tend to eat more when the food is not so good. Here’s a link for a few Mireille Guiliano recipes. For more, try French Women for All Seasons: A Calendar of Secrets, Recipes: 2010 Engagement Calendar.
