Welcome readers! I’ve contemplated starting a blog for some time now and after much agonizing over topic and content, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge.
For those who don’t know me, I am a thirty-something professional French-to-English translator & business owner who lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Those who do know me may wonder why, as a translator, I would want to write even a single word more after spending all day writing. But, like countless others out there, I’ve always believed there is a frustrated novelist (but we’ll start with blogger) deep within me.
While translating is mostly fascinating, stimulating and rewarding — the best thing about my job is that I learn something new every day — let’s face it, it can also be downright boring.
Hence the blog… I envision it as a forum where I can write for the sheer pleasure of it, about something that gives me great pleasure: food and wine, and cooking and eating! Preferably better shared with great company.
Enjoy, or as the French say, Bon appétit!
