Pumpkin Carvin'

Scary stuff! First time I carve a pumpkin in my entire life. Yes Halloween is not celebrated in france, well it wasn't until a few years ago (like 3 or 4) when some companies realized it could make some profit. Anyway, this week-end we bought some pumpkins at wallmart (shame) for 2 bucks each. I didn't knew pumpkins were so hollow, there is nothing in there. Some strings and seeds. So first I had to make a hole on the top and with a spoon I got rid of the stuff inside. Then I drew the face of the pumpkin with a marker, and finally used a big knife to cut an evil face out of it. Lot's of fun! The best is when you put a candle in there and the flame flickers. Looks like this veggie is possessed!
Here you can see my flat, with the evil pumpkin claiming the table. It's still there, proud landlord of the table.

Thanks for reading Montana Clem, more and more images, less and less text!

Gross




Huuummmm yummy !!

Oh yeah, looking at that picture makes me gag right now. Especially after my half hour run. (Yeah I'm all sweaty!) But seriously it was so tasty! What did I put in there...
  • 2 slices of whole wheat bread, toasted
  • 2 slices of salami with black pepper
  • 2 slices of medium sharp cheddar
  • 2 slices of turkey bacon (65% less fat than normal bacon. Still way too much)
  • 2 sunny side up eggs! (That was such a good idea, thanks to that Spanglish movie I watched yesterday.)
  • 3 White mushrooms that I quickly cooked on the stove.
  • Microwaved 15 seconds to have the cheeze melt just a little....

Let it snow, let it snow

As the sky is black, the temperature falls down and enormous clouds hide the stars. While the children and the good people sleep, one of the most magical nature's tricks begins. As beautiful as deadly it swings in the air, slowly, almost nonchalantly it lands on the ground like a white feather blown by a little kid. Billions of water crystals, perfect shaped, creates a delicious sugar frosting on Bozeman.
The following morning, we hear the laugh of the Bozeman-lings discovering this year's first snow, running around, throwing snow balls, building ice-mans, tasting the ice or just observing this sudden feel of purity over their homes, their country. The warm autumn colors of the trees adds beauty to the painting. Leaves make a soft colorful tapestry and contrast with snow's detail-less whiteness.
It's been my duty as your friendly bloggin' Bozemanite to walk around the streets and take pictures of this unfortunately (or not?) temporary enchantment.

Please pardon my attempt of lyricism today. I admit this snow must have froze some part of my brain and here is the awful result. But anyway, I hope it made you smile or even laugh (who knows?) and that you'll have a great time looking at the pictures and maybe a great day !

Thanks for reading Montana Clem. A fairly quite not regularly updated blog.
