Tuesdays: Soirées entre Filles

BON APPETIT LES FILLES!

What: soirée entre filles or girls' night

Who: girls from all over the world

Where: my apartment

When: every Tuesday

Why: to have a great meal
in an agréable atmosphere

Every Tuesday evening I host a soirée entre filles with some of my new girlfriends. They are international students, just like me, at La Catho. The ones who attend are from Canada, France, Germany, Korea and the United States.

It all started from a girls' night I had with my girlfriends back home in Arizona. We had it every Tuesday actually, and it was such a success (thanks to Ikram, Kafiyah and Jessie) that I decided to start a tradition here in France.

We all meet at my apartment and take turns cooking different cuisines (to experience different cultures). The first Tuesday, I cooked a mélange of turkey, squash and corn with a side of Spanish rice. I was going for the Latin American touch... The rest of mes amies brought Camembert cheese, baguette, red wine and for dessert pain au chocolat.

Then, it was Julie and Lisa's turn to cuisiner, and they made a delicious pasta with a thick, milky sauce and salad on the side. We all have a wonderful time polishing our French language while we enjoy a hearty meal. I think that one needs a support system like this sometimes, especially in a different country where one stays for half a year.

I am very happy to share every Tuesday with my international friends learning from each of them every time!

Merci pour les soirée entre filles à tous!
