Honey, mostard and beer chicken! It's my turn to officially introduce my new boyfriend to Dad and Grandpa! Well, of course, it would be annoying if Grandpa chased him away with a shotgun. He's a bit old-fashioned and protective of me. Anyway, I'm not sure Dad wouldn't help him if there's a…

The near future, a distorting mirror Painting from Liz Hume, a fantastic artist: From Andy Cline's Ready Player One to Judge Dread to Black Mirror and Pacific Rim, near future works are endless.Close anticipation is not a genre, it is an approach.Common point of the corpus: the stories must take…

Stories Beyond Reality: Rebirth A personal version of my favorite Andersen tale. I hope you will like it. Rebirth I I am different. I have always been. For my mother, it's as if I were an extra-terrestrial. But having no place among those hanging around on a mound of dirt doesn't seem so bad, when…

Blade Runner: “Harrison Ford, is he a replicant or not?” "So Harrison Ford, is he a replicant or not?" "No it's an actor!" The answer was complicated, the debate lasting for more than 40 years. But I will try to answer it now. So for those who think that I am speaking an obscure Pakistani dialect,…

Dad starts blogging and a revisited burger? Dad blogger? Since Dad was on vacation, we spent some time building him a blog. When he visited my blog, he wanted to start. Dad is a huge geek and is passionate about the history of video games, among other things, so the topic was already there. I…

A date that turns into babysitting and a tikka masala. A few weeks ago, my best friend tricked me into planning a foursome date because she was too shy to officially invite the guy she had a crush on to dinner. As I mentioned, I was forced to go out with a guy I didn't know. Well, for my friend,…

Beef massaman curry Today, is the last week at my grandparent's house, so we're having a family dinner with my aunt and cousins. My aunt Pauline loves Asian food in general after a trip to Thailand, so I helped her to make a beef massaman curry. Ingredients (serves 4–6) 1kg beef chuck steak 2 Tbsp…

Home sweet home! Finally back home, and the airport didn't lose my suitcase this time! I feel like I've been gone for months! My Granpa teased me right from the airport. Apparently, this little time in France made me start to lose my accent again. (He'll pay me for it one day!) How wonderful it…

Did I sleep with a ghost? I've been here for a week, and my grandfather thinks I'm my mom. At first, I tried to disabuse him of the notion. I changed my look, my hair, and my makeup, but nothing worked, so I let him call me Laura. I didn't think he'd be this diminished. Grandma says he's not…

Tacos with pork, apple juice, chili and beer. Like I said before, I'm in France for two weeks visiting my grandparents on my mom's side and great news, the airport found my suitcase. So, I took the opportunity to see old friends I only get to see once a year since I started living with Dad. It did…

Sorcha’s Writings: Player Two A story inspired by a Reddit thread about someone discovering their deceased mother's Animal Crossing game years later. This isn't a true story, but I thought a lot about my brother while writing it. Enjoy the read.

Today I know that ghosts exist, I have become one for the coming weeks. TW: Grief, suicide, depression. I'm sorry, but this article is not going to be anything very cheerful. If you've already read my blog, you probably know that I've been living with my dad since I lost my mom when I was 9. To…

Grandma’s Coffee Cookies Thursday was a bit of a special day for Grandpa. He wasn't feeling too good, so we went for a horseback ride, and then they had the brilliant idea of making me jump over obstacles, just like when I used to compete! The result? I fell! Nothing serious, but I have a nice…

A failed date but a romantic weekend that promises to be fabulous! (And a Comté cheese gougères recipe.) Another failed date! Last Thursday, I had a romantic date planned with Grioghar: a candlelit dinner with romantic music… Unfortunately, at the first kiss, the phone rang. It was a friend of his…

Connected Beings In my writing workshop, we had to write a love story, but having broken up with my boyfriend recently, I was completely stuck on the subject. I miss being in a relationship, all the little attentions that we can have for each other and those that we can receive, the moments of…

Make Hachis Parmentier Like a french Chef My friend Quentin came to stay at my house for a few days! We've known each other since kindergarten, and we were inseparable when I still lived in France. When I had to move in with my dad when I was 9, he's one of the people I missed the most. We talk…

How Star Trek Uniforms Became Iconic Yeah I'm a trekkie Dad and Grandpa's fault. I remember the evenings when Dad watched Star Trek TNG in front of his computer. I had my head on his stomach and his hand in my hair. I often ended up falling asleep in this position but at the same time I fell in…

Two perfect sauces for a barbecue: Salsa Mojo Verde and Salsa Mojo Rojo! Yesterday, Grandpa came home with the biggest ribeye steaks I've ever seen in my life! We marinated them overnight and invited some friends over for a barbecue. For the occasion, I made Mojo sauces to go with the meat and the…

The reading corner: “Throne of glass” Sarah J. Maas Last week, Dad and I stopped by Ruaris Kitchen for a healthy and balanced breakfast (no, we can't say it was, but it's always a pleasure to stop by!), then while Dad was running errands, I joined Maddy, an ex of Dad's with whom I've remained very…

The Wizard of Oz Grandpa planned to participate in a charity sale. So we sorted through what we were keeping, what we were selling, and what we were throwing away. Among other things, in a box I found some DVDs, including one of The Wizard of Oz. It was my mom's favorite movie, and also my…
