New Chicago French Market offers delicious tastes of France, other cultures
2009-12-08 14:26:00 As someone who has worked downtown for years, I'd been waiting with anticipation for the rumored opening of a French Market in the Ogilvie Transportation Center space. I'd seen signs on the outdoor window for ages--so imagine my delight when I heard from a well-informed friend that the Market was FINALLY opening to the public. Those of you who read this blog (as well as www.UrbanTravelGirl.com) know what an obsessive Francophile I am. And since I'm sadly not heading to France this holiday season as I often do, instead trying to do the fiscally responsible thing and stay close to home, news that I soon could shop at an authentic French market just doors from my downtown workplace promised to...
Ooh La La! The Chicago French Market opens in the West Loop
2009-12-03 23:55:00 Frietkoten's Belgian Fries, doubled fried potatoes served in paper cones, are topped with the traditional dollop of mayonnaise and ketchup (Tribune photo by Chris Walker).On today's WGN Evening News at 5 p.m., I'll be checking out the Chicago French Market, the 15,000 square foot mecca of all things fresh food. It's located in the Ogilvie Transportation Center's suburban commuter concourse at 131 N. Clinton St. (it's the building north of the standard food court building). Mayor Daley and Bill Kurtis (his grass-fed beef is for sale at the City Fresh booth) were on hand to kick off the market. More than 25 vendors will be set up selling organic produce, raw food, Wisconsin cheese, fresh fish, rare cured meats, and...
Tried it: Crepes at the Chicago French Market
2009-12-03 18:40:00 The Chicago French Market opened today to bustling crowds. After chatting with a dozen vendors over the past week to prep for our preview story, I didn't waste any time jetting in for a crepe at Flip, one of the only booths with a line around 9 this morning. The sweet crepes were tough to ignore (s'mores for breakfast could be justifiable on certain days) but I steered myself toward the "a.m. wrap" menu and tried the Maple Bites crepe, stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheddar cheese and a drizzle of maple syrup.The buckwheat crepes (owner Antoine Elie's grandmother's recipe) are lovely, but the packaging needs some work. Each crepe is rolled up burrito-style, wrapped in wax paper and slid...
Fry shack among vendors joining Chicago French Market
2009-10-16 23:51:00 The Chicago French Market has signed 16 more vendors to the year-round indoor market scheduled to open in mid-November. A Belgian fry shack, a cured meats seller and a raw-foods restaurant are among the sellers that will be part of a 15,000-square-foot European-style market connected to the Ogilvie Transportation Center. The Chicago French Market is part of the MetraMarket concept, a 100,000-square-foot development bounded by Lake, Canal, Washington and Clinton streets. The market includes a CVS store that's already open and a 2,045-square-foot Lavazza Italian Café scheduled to open later this year. Ten other retailers, including a third location for Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine, were announced in August....
French Vogue allows Dutch supermodel to pose in blackface
2009-10-16 05:10:00 Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in blackface After reading The Kyles Files blog "Australian Blackface Performers Need a Gut Punch," I shook my head wondering why these guys felt the need to dress up in blackface just to reenact the Jackson 5. And I thought that after the huge issue that created that things would calm down. But low and behold, Jezebel.com reported a Dutch supermodel named Lara Stone is in blackface for a model shoot with French Vogue in the October edition. As annoying as "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Kim Zolciak's song "Tardy for the Party" is, I love her, not only because the song is catchy but because she was uncomfortable with the idea of...

French gamers call for a retro game museum
2009-09-23 15:01:00 A group of French video game enthusiasts are lobbying authorities to set up a dedicated museum of retro-gaming in the country. The group, called MO5, say the new museum should be interactive, allowing users to play the old game systems. The proposed "National Institute of Digital Sciences" would have an original working version Pong, one of the earliest games released in 1972. However, the group acknowledged it would take time to actually happen. A spokesman for the group, Philippe Dubois, told BBC News that video games are there to be played, not just looked at. "We have a collection of more than 30,000 parts and 1500 different game machines – ranging from arcades to home consoles – which continues to grow. "In France we have a rich culture of arts, painting, literature and cinema, but we are in danger of losing our inheritance of video game history," he added.

French Class and Laser Tag
2009-09-22 23:21:00 I'm about to head off to bed, but I have to admit, today has been very productive. Yan-Shih and I woke up at 6:20am (it is a Saturday), had breakfast, and went into the city. At 9:00am we started our new French class, which looks like it will be great fun. Our teacher has great energy, the students are interesting (and seemingly bright), and I've picked up a copy of Asterix. Although I haven't made it past the first page, I've enjoyed looking up the words, and reliving a comic book I read as a kid. We haven't learned conjugation yet, so I might wait to read more until next week. After class we had some Japanese noodle, and joined Clinton, Linda, and Co. for a little laser tag. While I've only played laser tag a few times in my entire life, when I learned Yan-Shih had never played, I knew we had to join. She appeared to enjoy herself, even though Falcon (me) was the undisputed winner (19,000 points!) Feels good to win, even if it involves acting like an eight year old....

Secular leader from India discusses French efforts to ban burqa
2009-07-08 17:27:00 The French government is considering whether or not to ban the burqa. At first glance, it seems like an interference with religious freedom, but there actually are two legitimate sides to the story. Is the wearing of a burqa something that Muslim women choose to do, voluntarily, to affirm their faith, or is it a form a religious suppression imposed upon women by domineering men? Would a ban on wearing the burqa in public in France provide Muslim women with liberation that they deserve and crave, or would it interfere with their freedom of choice? Do Muslim women choose to wear the burqa, or is it forced upon them by their man, against their will? Would banning the burqa solve a...

For those who have held onto Lee's work, the news is encouraging. They have sold at auction recently in the thousand-dollar range....

Wonderous French Kiss
2009-05-27 12:45:00 The French kiss has been the universal language of love over centuries. It has been utilized in literature, shows, and movies alike. It is so popular because it is the pinnacle of all kisses and also an art. When you add it to your relationship, you can greatly intensify the affection that you and your partner hold for one another.There are many little things you can do to enhance your kissing experience with your boyfriend or girlfriend. You should always make sure that your eyes are kept shut while kissing your partner. If you do not do so, then it may be really awkward. Imagine if you were kissing someone and all of a sudden you found out he or she was staring at you the whole time. You would feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, you should keep your eyes shut. IN addition to keeping your eyes shut, you should also tilt your head either to the left or right when you are kissing to avoid bumping into your partner nose.Another quick tip just for men would be to make sure to shave.

How Do You French Kiss Exactly
2009-05-26 12:45:00 Have you ever wondered how do you French kiss? When you French kiss, your senses are taken on a ride of affection, compassion, and love. French kissing is very easy to learn and master with patience, practice, and time.First of all, if you are nervous, just decide to take the leap of making the first move. More than likely, your partner is just as nervous as you are, and he or she will be more than happy that you decided to make the first move. Once you have decided this for sure, you are ready to be welcomed into the realm of French kissing.If you are new to the world of French kissing, perhaps you should practice with something first. As weird as this sounds, practice really does work. Try licking a soft serve ice cream cone or lick your hand. This same motion of your tongue should be used while you are French kissing your partner. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, thus, you should do this until you feel like your confidence is built up enough. On the contrary, if you fe...
