Remember when I didn't eat grains??

For dinner I made some delish pasta with eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

Okay, it doesn't look that appetizing in the photo, but food rarely does.

Called my French cousin today, Olivier. He invited me for dinner on Friday, to a BBQ on Sunday, AND asked me if I wanted to come to dinner before Friday, haha. He told me "There's some Shaya's visiting this weekend". I asked if I knew them--he said no. Always more cousins. Ridiculous. (The Shaya fam is one of the big last names in my family.) It's nice though, literally everywhere in the world I go, I have cousins to go have dinner with. Very comforting. They live near here too--at Place de Clichy! So like a 15 or 20 min walk. So Friday will be fun. 

I keep thinking about how many random people showed up last night. Like this French girl who NYU brought over to give us a tour of the Sciences Po, the university here. She doesn't even go to NYU, but somehow she was here last night!! I don't know who invited her, but thing like that make me so happy. Maybe that's why phone got stolen. Hah.

Also, there's a scarf that was left here, grey and printed, if anyone wants to claim it.
