Yesterday I finally found a free, downloadable french dictionary. For the mac. Here is the link for reference sake:

Since we don't have internet at home, we are forced to use a real dictionary to look up words during our daily newspaper read. This tends to get extremely tedious for a beginner. The ability to have the laptop open, type in a word, and get an immediate definition is priceless. In addition, you can type in a french OR an english word, and it will give you the correct direction of translation. I think I may use this application even when I have internet, since it is lightning fast!
In other non-news, we've started using our kitchen a bit more now. We have been trying some of the great french produce, and so far it has been up to expectation. In particular, we liked the tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and shallots. Also, the mache lettuce is very easy to find - not always the case in the states.
We need to start trying some of the fruits too!
