Check out some history

by wendyellenthomas on February 24, 2012

Welcome to Chez Chloe History… I’m continuing to post on wendyellenthomas.com until further notice. At some point there may be a combining of the two…but for now my blog learning capacity is maxing out with wordpress.com and wordpress.org learning will continue in the summer.

So please take a minute and check out some of the old Paris posts and more. They were good times.

Here’s a photo of pre balled truffles… sweet little droplets of goodness.

And here we go again…. again

by wendyellenthomas on January 30, 2012

So here we go again… and now again after I somehow accidentally deleted everything I worked on the last 3 days. Oh the learning curve is fun. (finger down throat…gag). Really it was quite frustrating. It’s all those DIY tutorials. And messing around with the FTP and the php etc etc..

You’ve reached a WIP… work in progress that is. I don’t know if it’s bad juju to put something half ass up, but despite the not so great snapshots- I love these old posts. They are a slice of history. I’ll be continuing as soon as I work some of the kinks out.

I would love to get some advice from those with multiple blogs. How do you decide what your ‘Main’ one is… say the one you use for social media and connecting. Do you think it’s better to use your name or something catchy (like for me – Chez Chloe). Thanks for your input.

Just wanted to see something yummy here....

Eating by candle light… alone?

September 6, 2008

Once again driving home I thought about what’s for dinner. Pour Chloe gets so tired of hearing about what I want to eat, cook or try. This conversation was with me, myself and I. I stopped at the farmer’s market this morning and picked up some green onions, small, tender green beans, a blushed head [...]

Rhubarb anyone? Scones & Crepes

May 25, 2008

Just a quickie on how lovely rhubarb can be. I find it’s feast or famine for me with this fruit, much as it is with summer squash. I’ve had far more than I can handle in past years but now seem to have none. I did find a survivor in my orchard that I transplanted [...]

Cooking solo- Salmon dinner

May 21, 2008

Seared Salmon with cider bbq glaze, aspargus and shitakes, cucumbers…. Eating by yourself is a task in it self at times. Unless it’s chewing while you work, clean, read or space out with some anonymous item being transferred orally from mouth to hand. Cooking for yourself is the hurdle to jump. I definitely have to [...]
